Summary

The points represent the capitals of 9 provinces located in the Kingdom of Prussia in 1826, which as a state was then a member of the German Confederation (Deutscher Bund). The five eastern provinces (and their capitals) were formally not part of the German Confederation, although part of Germany as a political core region. The polygons and state capitals of 'core Germany 1826' are available as separate data sets on this server.
