StateParl contains the parliamentary speeches of members of parliament and government representatives in all 16 German state parliaments from 1.1.2000 to 31.12.2023. Stenographic protocols of German state parliaments have become an important source for researchers, students, and journalists. StateParl integrates these protocols in an accessible, coherent, and machine-readable format that enables systematic applications. The database contains 14,092,664 paragraphs of parliamentary speeches. The data are also linked to “StatePol”, which contains personal information on the members of the state parliaments. The new version is freely accessible for everyone interested (only a cost-free registration at GESIS is needed).
