Georeferenced birthplaces of identified DTA authors

The dataset provides geo-coordinates of the birthplaces of more than 900 authors of the German Text Archive. Birthplaces were identified using the services of the German National Library (DNB), but also other sources such as Wikipedia, and then geocoordinated. 

The dataset was created in the study by Lameli (2018). It is requested to refer to this study when using the dataset:
