germany.data: Meta-data about administrative districts of Germany

Description

Data for the display of data over the administrative districts of Germany

Details

The representative coordinates are calculated based on the mean value of the polygon coordinates. This creates sometimes strange values, e.g., district Leer.

References

The meta-data has been constructed based on (essentially) files from the package INLA, see demo(Bym). See also http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amtlicher_Gemeindeschl%C3%BCssel and http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Landkreise_in_Deutschland
