Abstract

We describe the procedure for compiling a list of industrial monuments in the regions of Germany and the resulting data set. This includes detailed insights into the absolute and relative numbers of industrial monuments, categorized into production, traffic, and supply. In addition, we provide an overview of the regional distribution of the number of industrial monuments in Germany. Baden-Wuerttemberg and Bavaria exhibit the largest shares of industrial monuments nationwide, followed by Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia. Spatial analyses reveal significant regional variations in monument density per population and area, reflecting the historical and cultural heritage shaped by industrialization. The data set, publicly available on the Internet, fills a gap in documenting and analyzing industrial heritage in Germany.
