Hi

My name is Piotr. Warm welcome to everybody.
I have a question about german database. In most rows with feature code 'PPL' fields adm2-4 are empty.

Is it premium data or there is another way of getting that info for PPL rows.? I would like to get detailed administrative level relations not only (PPL->ADM1)

Thanks in advance for any help.

This information is not yet available for Germany. The German parliament has decided some weeks ago to make the information available and in some weeks or months I am sure we will get it.

Marc

Thanks Marc

1. Any news about update of administrative level relation for PPL fields

2. Will this update cover population info for ppl rows. Currently for around 60 thousand rows 4,7 t have something different then zero.

Thanks in advance for answer

Hallo Piotr,

if you are only interested in German speaking countries, you may find useful:

I can not judge the quality of their data but they write they are using mostly official goverment data and they have 9 (yes nine!) levels of hierarchy in database schema.

May be the data in both databases can be compared and combined.
I will look at this.
