Talk:List of administrative divisions of Germany

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I just fixed some links but noticed that quite a few other links need work:

• Links to where no article is yet i.e. red links (but there very probably is, under another name - there are probably articles for all German Landkreise and kreisfrie Städte by now. )
• Links that point to the article for a town that is part of a district (kreisangehörige Gemeinde), instead of the district (for which the population figure is given) - this applied e.g. to Tübingen before I fixed that
• links that point to an article which is not about a town or district (e.g. the link "Vogt" which probably should refer to the Vogtland district in Saxony)

Missing: source and dates for the population figures.

Rather uncomfartable to get a quick overview - I would propose to chnage the layout referring to the 16 federal counties (Bundeslaender), below them to next lower admistrative divisions. I think this would be more useful than having an endless to-scroll-list sorted by number of inhabitants (who is willing to hold this up to date?). Maybe I can begin a proposal in my own user page sandbox within the next week - due to election weekend I'll be Off wiki till then. --Jens-13353 20:53, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

I'd propose sorting this list in NUTS fashion:

• Land (NUTS-1)
  • Regierungsbezirk (NUTS-2, for those five states where it's applicable)
    • Kreis (NUTS-3, this list, sorted)

As its now, it's barely legible. A list as above would pull it down to 4-12 subdivisions per level usually, except for some states. Might work on it a bit in my user sandbox. Kato2k6 14:25, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ordered by population?

Where? It is in total disorder. Also, the links often do not refer to the districts but only to the towns that gave the districts its name. This list is a total mess. 80.141.238.254 22:19, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
