Hello r/germany! This is a personal project of mine where I try to visualize countries using only the names of their populated places. Each name is plotted at its exact geographic coordinates. Hope you enjoy it and I’m happy to answer any questions!

What is the reason to include a city or not? Because you are throwing out Duisburg, Oberhausen, Mülheim, Gelsenkirchen and Bochum, while including their small neighbours.

Wiesbaden and Bremen are sad.
Partenstein is happy.

Now make it so that in case of a collision, the bigger one is chosen?

I’m just glad my city (Cottbus) that somehow never makes it onto an “infographic map” actually made it here!

Would be cool to make versions that overlay rivers or railroads or Autobahnen or state limits, etc.

Two things for my county (Odenwaldkreis). You have two names on there for that county: Etzean and Erbuch. Both are only districts. The cities they are part of are Erbach (in the case of Erbuch) – which should be easy to change, because it’s the same lenght and it’s only one letter that needs to be changed. And for Etzean: This is a district of Oberzent.
(Can be found a bit south-east of Darmstadt.)
Cool map though. I like the concept.

Love it but weird pick sometimes. At Kiel area I would have left out Schönberg and inserted Laboe instead. Would have formed the coastline a bit better.
In the Harz region I’m amazed I see Wildemann lol.

No Wiesbaden, but Erbenheim? I’d like to know how you are setting priorities.

Hamburg / North of it is not accurate at all. Glücksstadt and Heede are not located there.

Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is hilarious, ngl – for instance, the entire Jabel municipality has about 600 inhabitants. This might be the first map on all of reddit to feature it at all, it really is completely irrelevant.
It’d honestly be interesting to find the smallest “town” in this image…

Even Einödsbach, its like it sounds

Baden-Baden missing but Bühl present 🙁

Travemünde is a part of Lübeck, why include that but nothing within Berlin? You could’ve had Bad Schwartau in the exact location
