Datenbanken der Historischen Statistik im ZHSF

Abstract: The availability of historical statistical data of high quality in machine-readable form for Germany is in a lamentable condition. The existing data are scattered over numerous publications. They are only partially available in machine-readable form and only a small part of them is stored in public archives.

The online data bank HISTAT tries to offer the historical statistical data to the scientific community.
