Abstract
Veränderungen im gemeindlichen Gebietszuschnitt stellen Analysen auf der Grundlage gemeindebezogener
Strukturdaten unterschiedlicher Zeitpunkte regelmäßig vor Probleme. Das vorliegende Arbeitspapier
informiert über die kommunalen Gebietsreformen der 1960er und 1970er Jahre in Westdeutschland. Wesentliches
Ziel dieses Beitrags ist die Erläuterung und Bereitstellung einer Schlüsseltabelle zur Anpassung gemeindlicher
Änderungen für Zeitreihenanalysen. Diese digitale Referenz enthält für ausgesuchte Bundesländer
eine Vielzahl der Umkodierungen seit 1970. Die Datei stellen wir auf Nachfrage zur Verfügung.
The municipal area reform in West Germany in the 1960s and 1970s has led to a major expansion in the size of municipalities over time. Statistical data from this period mostly refers to administrative boundaries before the large-scale municipal reforms. In order to ensure comparability with more recent statistics it is necessary to transform the historical data to recent administrative structures. We compiled a list to retrace the changes in the number and size of municipalities over the years. Our table helps to adjust the municipal structure for most communities in selected Federal States (Bundesländer) since 1970. The data are available on request from the authors.
