Dataset description

List of place names in Lower Saxony (ATKIS), i.e. geographical names of places and places of residence in Lower Saxony (GeoNam); Extension of Lower Saxony; as far as dwellings have fallen, these have remained in this dataset in part as “popular settlement names”. The place names of the topographic map 1: 25 000 were first made according to the geometry of the topographic map 1: 100 000 recorded. In the process, the growing location center (not center of gravity) was chosen. This resulted in a dataset with about 16000 place names.
