Most ADM3 for Austria are still missing. Do you happen to know a good source of all 'Gemeinden' and 'Bezirke' with lat/lng?

wikipedia does not have an open license. We would not be allowed to use the data as a source.

for single cities this is true, for a collection of data there is a lot of work required to gather the data and the collection of the data is protected.
