This article describes the content of a very large
historical data bank about the Weimar Republic and the
principles of data-management, analogous to the hierarchical
systematic structure of its underlying statistical sources.
The subjects of the data bank are the Kreise (counties)
and Gemeinden (communities) with their electoral results
of eight Reichstagswahlen and census data about social occupation
structure, confession and unemployment in the
period between 1920 and 1933. Some important problems
would appear, when using this cross-sectional organized
aggregate data set for longitudinal purposes. The solutions
of this problems base upon several strategies in conjunction
with special code variables, established by the author into
the data bank. They produce new longitudinal data sets
with relative stable geographic units. Further, this article
gives a short view about the variables and technical aspects
of data-handling. The historical data bank and a user manual
is now public for social and historical scientists and
available via the Center for Historical Social Research in
Cologne/FRG.... view less
