KML files for Germany, Austria, Switzerland (County, District Level)

ChristofSchwarz — Mon, 13 Oct 2014 10:41:39 GMT

The following KML files have been successfully tested to work with Qlik Sense 1.0 mapping object. The polygones are not too complex but yet fine enough.

Level 1 = Bundesland / Kanton

Level 2-3 = Bezirk (District)

There is now a new combined KML in this ZIP, which has all 3 Countries (DE, CH, AT) on Kanton/Bundesland Level (Level1), and Liechtenstein. There is a translation table for the used codes into German labels as well.

These are the Germany files:

Germany divisions.Level 1.kml
Germany divisions.Level 2.kml
Germany divisions.Level 3.kml

These are the Austria files:

Austria divisions.Level 1.kml
Austria divisions.Level 2.kml

These are the Swiss files:

Switzerland divisions.Level 1.kml
Switzerland divisions.Level 2.kml

There's always a chance 😉

I looked up http://www.gadm.org/download for .kmz files, which I converted to .kml using Google Earth, and I looked up http://geocommons.com , where I pulled down this map: http://geocommons.com/overlays/116292.kml - this works fine, it is UK (with Scottland ) but without Northern Ireland.

The problem with county boundaries in the UK is that they change every few years

Great stuff Christof. I shall look to include into a demo app I'm building internally here. Previous attempts in Qlikview always left us without Scotland and Wales, when drilling to a county level

As long as it looks roughly OK, with minimal annual maintenance then at least I've got something!

Great map! Do you have created the kml files on your own? Or do you have used an open source file?

@csw

Do you have the KML or KMZ file from Europe?

Is it somehow possible to use these KML-files with IdevioMap5 & Area Layer in QlikView?

Hello Christof,

I need the KML data for the districts within Vienna.

Do you have an idea how I can get them?

Thanks, Patrick

EDIT 5.2.2021: I get the districts of Vienna from GeoAnalytics with the LOAD operations --> ADM3. Afterwards I combine ADM2 and ADM3.

Wie kann die KML-Files korrigiert werden? Hanover (müsste Hannover heißen) liegt auf Jamaica und Bamberg in den USA

In Österreich sind ein paar dt. Landkreise gelandet:

Freiburg liegt auch nicht ganz korrekt

und Friesland auch nicht:

Bitte nicht falsch verstehen! Mich würde interessieren, wo ich die notwendigen Informationen her bekommen und wie ich die KML korrigieren kann
