German Election Results Thread

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Working on the Cologne map now - or to be more accurate, looking through results in certain areas to work out the keys. Anyway. The FDP percentage in one posh urban area. Wow.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

There were two ties. Not sure how well the somewhat-purple-ish-offwhite-shade chosen for ties here shows up well, but I don't like doing the stripes thing.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

...and there goes what little free time I had left for the next week or so!

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Any other places you're particularly interested in?

Possibly... but I think I'll try and get through these first

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Düsseldorf is a shame because my brother lived there for a while and it'd have been fun to have spammed his email with maps

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Spot the former borough of Wedding!

[Filuwaúrdjan]

(It actually extends into the two Green districts south of it too, though.)

Details, details. I still laughed on finding out, anyway.

Talking of which, quite how evenly distributed the Berlin SPD vote is seems a little strange - especially when compared to other large cities. And when looking at the patterns of the other parties in Berlin, obviously.

Presumably that area has a lot of DDR-era social housing?

Hm? The constituencies got redrawn once since the district reform. The former borough boundaries were breached in that. The new Mitte had included seven constituencies before - two somewhat undersized ones each in Mitte proper and Tiergarten, three somewhat undersized ones in the Wedding. Add the area up, and it was closer to six seats than to seven. The southeastern Wedding seat basically got distributed among all its neighbors. So there's parts of the old Wedding in those two neighboring constituencies as well.[/quote]

I know. That's why I wrote "details, details". I don't care if it's strictly accurate - it's still hilarious

Ah, alright. What sort of people live there?

You know what?

Precinct maps from page 28

I'm sure you can find yourself a map of the former boundaries and do the math (sans postals) yourself.

Haha - I might do that at some point, yes.

Offenbach:

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Stuttgart. SPD nearly came fourth (though only just missed out on second).

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Duisburg. I had fun modifying the outline map for this.

Edited for lolworthy error.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

A note on Duisburg: Al can't read maps. That port area by the mouth of the Ruhr (Ruhrort, it's called) belongs to the borough facing it across the Rhine.

lol

That'll teach me to start working on maps after midnight. Will change it now.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Leading party (list vote) by political district (former in the case of Aachen).

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Changes from the European Elections to the Federal ones. City States not done as I don't know how their boroughs went in the Euros. Red = SPD "gain" from CDU, Pink = Left "gain" from SPD, Purple = Left "gain" from CDU, Blue = CDU "gain" from SPD, Green-Blue = CDU "gain" from Greens. List vote obviously.

Did this because Dresden is taking a while and because I wondered if there were any patterns of interest.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

CDU gains appear to be heavily concentrated near the northern part of the Upper Rhenanian Plain.

Was slightly surprised that there were any - off the SPD, anyway. And both of those in the same state.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Interesting. Is there a map of all the municipalities? If there isn't I could draw one myself, but it would take a while.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Dresden. The first fully ex-DDR city that I've ever done one of these for.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Interesting. Is there a map of all the municipalities? If there isn't I could draw one myself, but it would take a while.

There probably is, but don't bother. I kept the no. of categories simple so people can (if they want to) picture the maps themselves. I'd rather you do more cities. I suggest Essen next.

Ah, O.K. I did clean up the Essen basemap the other day, so that makes sense

Btw, what's with the (relative) concentration of SPD support in the centre of Dresden? The Greens upside down "u" is a little surprising as well, but you sort of mentioned that with the data.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

What are those two wards/districts the Linke won like?

The area is called Gorbitz and this is a photo from 1987:

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Essen.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Pretty strong polarization, isn't it.

Pretty impressive as such things go, yeah.

Yes - in a place called Vogelheim. SPD 50.6%, CDU 14.7%, Left 13.8%, FDP 7%, Greens 6%

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Darmstadt.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Made a start on Nuremberg (looks very interesting, actually) but fucked up the key (scroll down in future, you idiot) so have had to start again. It should be up later today.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

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?
