Germany: govdata.de
Official portal: govdata.de (opens in a new tab)Why snapshot data?Open-data catalogue totals are dynamic measurements rather than fixed statistics. OpenDataScope therefore uses a timestamped research snapshot as its canonical analytical dataset. Later official-page readings are retained as validation evidence and demonstrate normal catalogue drift over time.Research snapshot: 8 October 2026, 22:21–23:03 UTC9 October 2026, 00:21–01:03 in Skopje (UTC+2)Live portals can change after the research snapshot.How the snapshot was taken

Validation readings
Validation readings: 9 October 2026, before 11:13 UTC. Canonical values keep the main position; later readings are validation evidence, and earlier readings are superseded.
