A Git repository containing all German federal laws and ordinances (Bundesgesetze und -verordnungen) converted from official XML sources into Markdown format. It applies Git versioning to legal texts so that the history and evolution of legislation becomes machine-readable and publicly traceable.
Use cases
- download all German federal laws as markdown files
- track the historical changes of German legislation over time
- build a search engine or app over German statutes
- convert German legal texts into HTML or other formats
- diff versions of a German law to see what changed
- machine-readable corpus of German legal texts for NLP
- propose or discuss amendments to German laws via pull requests
When to choose
- you need bulk, machine-readable German federal legal texts in a plain-text format
- you want versioned history of legislation rather than only the latest text
- you are building legal-tech tools, search, or analysis on German law
- you prefer human-readable Markdown over raw XML
When to avoid
- you need legally authoritative or guaranteed-correct law texts - the project explicitly disclaims accuracy and points to official sources
- you need laws from other countries or German state (Länder) law
- you need structured semantic markup rather than prose-oriented Markdown
- you need frequently updated data - the last release was in 2022
