{"name": "GIS-Akademie Geocoder", "package_name": "gis_akademie_geocoder", "description": "Geocodes German addresses from CSV, Excel, OpenDocument (.ods) or tab-separated files against a local database of official house coordinates for all 16 German states, with Nominatim as an optional fallback. Can run fully offline (GDPR mode).", "about": "Geocodes address tables (CSV, Excel .xlsx/.xls, OpenDocument .ods, tab-separated) and writes the result as a GeoPackage layer. Addresses are matched against a local SQLite database of official German house coordinates (Hauskoordinaten) with fuzzy search; addresses without a local match can optionally be sent to Nominatim (OpenStreetMap). In GDPR mode no address ever leaves the computer.\n\nThe local database is built inside the plugin: one click downloads the official open data of all 16 German states and imports it \u2014 only when there is new data. The plugin handles the states' different services (fixed downloads, feeds, INSPIRE WFS, OGC API Features, per-district ALKIS GeoPackages, job-based download clients). Bavaria is loaded from an OpenStreetMap extract (Geofabrik) because official addresses are not free there. Users can also register their own files (HK-DE text, INSPIRE GML, shapefile or OpenStreetMap extract) per state. The list of sources can be updated online from this repository without a new plugin version.\n\nMissing postcodes are added automatically from the bundled postcode areas (derived directly from OpenStreetMap, \u00a9 OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL).\n\nRequirements: none beyond QGIS (uses GDAL/OGR from QGIS). Optional: reading old Excel .xls files needs the Python package xlrd (OSGeo4W Shell: python -m pip install xlrd). Region: Germany only. The user interface and documentation are in German.\n\nData licences: official house coordinates dl-de/by-2-0, Berlin dl-de/zero-2-0, Bremen, Niedersachsen, Schleswig-Holstein and Th\u00fcringen CC BY 4.0; OpenStreetMap data and the bundled postcode areas ODbL 1.0. Please follow the attribution rules of each source (see the built-in help).\n\nDeutsch: Geocodiert Adresstabellen gegen amtliche Hauskoordinaten aller 16 Bundesl\u00e4nder (lokal, optional DSGVO-konform ohne Online-Abfrage), l\u00e4dt und aktualisiert die Open-Data-Quellen der L\u00e4nder selbst und erg\u00e4nzt fehlende Postleitzahlen aus mitgelieferten PLZ-Gebieten.", "homepage": "https://github.com/GIS-Akademie/gis_akademie_geocoder#readme", "repository": "https://github.com/GIS-Akademie/gis_akademie_geocoder", "tracker": "https://github.com/GIS-Akademie/gis_akademie_geocoder/issues", "author": "GIS-Akademie", "tags": ["geocoding", "address", "germany", "nominatim", "openstreetmap", "csv", "excel", "geopackage", "offline", "gdpr", "hauskoordinaten", "hk-de", "inspire", "postcode", "qgis4"], "downloads": 11, "latest_version": "1.0.2", "versions": [{"version": "1.0.2", "experimental": false, "qgis_min": "3.16.0", "qgis_max": "4.99.0", "downloads": 11, "uploaded_by": "gis-akademie-alex", "upload_datetime": "2026-10-26T09:21:54.931377"}]}
