[OSM-talk] German Shapefile, federal states?

Thu Apr 30 20:04:01 BST 2009

Hello, Torsten. I think the 16 german federal states (lander) are available as a shapefile in lots of different places. Here is one example:

http://wetnet.net/~we7u/xastir/maps/shapefile/Germany/

That is a shapefile (compressed) with 16 polygons, and you also have the population and extension of each one. You have to open it with some GIS application. Where do you want to draw that map?

Regards,
Juan Lucas

Ouch, that's bad.

i thought they'd contain some actual data, size implied that.

I wonder if anybody knows a way to render the 16 German federal states
(Bundesländer)?  Actually that's what i want to do in the end..

Is there a way to find out what is in a Shapefile?  Like that i can write
filters like

<Filter>[CNTRY_NAME] = 'Germany'</Filter>

in world_boundaries_m?  Is there a way to find this out from a
Shapefile?

Thanks for any hints,
Torsten.
