german-administrative-areas v1.0.0

german-administrative-areas

German administrative areas as WGS84 GeoJSON. Data provided by the Federal Agency for Cartography and Geodesy (current dataset from 2021-01-01), subject to this license.

Installation

npm install --save german-administrative-areas

Usage

The module contains seperate lists of GeoJSON objects for the following federal and administrative layers:

• staat - Federal Republic of Germany
• laender - states (e. g. Hessen, Thüringen, Bavaria, …)
• regierungsbezirke - administrative districts (e. g. Regierungsbezirk Münster)
• kreise - counties and and autonomous cities
• verwaltungsgemeinschaften - association of administrations / municipalities
• gemeinden - municipalities

You can either require the entire module (which will take a few seconds) to access all layers:

const areas = require('german-administrative-areas')

console.log(areas.verwaltungsgemeinschaften) // list of GeoJSON objects
console.log(areas['laender'])

Or you require specific layers in case you don't need all of them:

const states = require('german-administrative-areas/laender.geo.json')
const municipalities = require('german-administrative-areas/gemeinden.geo.json')
