    Below you'll find a list of German (language) regional hierarchies
    together with their respective administrative information.

    All currently known hierarchies are included that are neither local
    (but private or public) nor defunct (but active or historic). You can
    find a complete list of all those hierarchies at <http://de-regio.de/>
    or query the underlying database yourself at
    <http://de-regio.de/select.php>. Complete information - as "complete"
    as you get ;) - on any known hierarchy is available at <http://de-regio.de/show.php?hierarchy=ENTER_HERE>; you can just
    follow the links contained in the list below.

    The information has mostly been validated; please let me know of any
    remaining errors or omissions (and any mistakes in translation ...).
