GOV - Historical Administrative Information

The Genealogisches Orts-Verzeichnis (GOV) contains information about current and historical political, ecclesiastical and legal administrative affiliations of settlements and administrative units. In addition several time-dependent values (such as names, population numbers, postal codes etc.) are given.

The focus of the dataset is on Central Europe, but also data from the U.S. and Australia is included.
