Study title

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 is linked to StatePol data, which contains data on the members of the state parliaments. An additional dataset is included for mapping between StateParl and StatePol. Additionally, StateParl includes a dataset of protocols that contains the protocol's metadata.
