Don't we sort of have a map of Nuremberg already?

Yes, though mine would be prettier.  Though as it do take forever...

...I might do these before I finish it Already have a cleaned-up Dortmund base map.

Btw, do you have another link for the Leipzig map?

[minionofmidas]

Leipzig by neighborhood. (...) I hope this Neighborhood map is up to date.

Map link fixed

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Dortmund. Not as hilariously polarised as Essen, though some patterns are familiar. And, yes, The Left did indeed beat the CDU in much of the inner North.

[minionofmidas]

And that's the nice part of Dortmund! (Well, by my definition anyhow - reminds me of the Gallus with a touch of the North End thrown in.) Though my ancestral country (ie, where my father's parents grew up) is the inner east.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Leipzig.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Comparing the Leipzig maps to the Dresden one is interesting.

Many more Left wins (obviously), but otherwise sort of comparable.

Is Leipzig's centre posher than Dresden's?

What is Dresden's centre? The touristridden histotainment park that sits on the spot of the "Old Town"?* It's hard to get posher, in East Germany outside of new developments near West Berlin.
Leipzig's centre is a little further away from the cool part of town, is more like it.  Thus probably has more people in it who've been there before 1990. (Besides, I don't know Leipzig well enough.) What I meant was mostly, the huge 70s/80s development as a Left stronghold, the obligatory punk/hippie/now bobofying Green district that emerged due to resettlement of the ordinary working class onto the new huge 70s/80s development and that every major East German city seems to possess...

*As to the complex issue of the history of Dresden and the changing meanings of the term "old" in respect to the city's topography, I'll do that by request only.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

What is Dresden's centre?

The bit in the middle,  most of which had above average Left results - which is obviously not true of Leipzig, thus the question.

I think I'll randomly take you up on that in a few months time

[minionofmidas]

The areas around (south, west, east) of the Inner Old Town?

At the top here (that would be, the areas east of the Inner Old Town, which itself is obviously in the lower two thirds of the image).



Gee, might this have anything to do with it, I wonder?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Yeah, that would explain things.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Wiesbaden The Left's best area was somewhere where they did badly in the state election earlier in the year, fwiw.

[minionofmidas]

Above average, actually. But worse than in the obvious central strongholds and in the other two "right bank of Mainz" neighborhoods, and even in a couple of random other places.
Yeah, the Left made some big gains in very SPD-ish places in these elections, both those where it had always been strong (Riederwald, say) and others where it hadn't really broken through before (like Amöneburg here. Or East Frisia.)

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Nuremberg. My German isn't good enough to know what's done with the areas I've blanked out - I can make any changes easily if they were combined with other areas for electoral purposes.

[minionofmidas]

It said something somewhere near the maps about these areas "being nearly uninhabited and combined with a neighboring area for election purposes (see text above)". I didn't search the 20 pages of text for the places where it says what goes where.

Yeah, I sort of got parts of that, though wasn't entirely sure, but...

Exactly.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Anyway, just thought I'd note that I'll sort-of do requests now. So long as there's a map with the relevant boundaries on it, and the actual numbers.

[Хahar 🤔]

I'll take you up on that. I'd like to see a constituency map with CDU and FDP added together and likewise for SPD, Greens, and PDS.

Would you prefer local government districts? They're more detailed in most areas.

[Хahar 🤔]

Ah, yes, then.

[minionofmidas]

Mierscheid's law struck again:

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Ah, I remember that from 2005. Hilarious.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Leading party in Frankfurt by postal precinct. Whether this sort of map is all that useful when you consider that four parties won postal precincts and that a fifth polled strongly in some others isn't the point. Pretty!

[minionofmidas]

Pretty!

You know what to do about that.
