[OSM-talk] German Shapefile, federal states?

[Torsten Mohr]

Hello,

has anybody got some experience with the Shapefiles at:

http://dataservice.eea.europa.eu/dataservice/metadetails.asp?id=760

I just downloaded the file for Germany (DE).

Is there a way to filter for the federal states?  I want to highlight each of
them in a different color.

To formulate the Rule it would be great to know how to filter for federal
states and what names are used.


Thanks for any hints,
Torsten.
