Comment(s)

• Until 2004 the data of the microcensus have been divided into "Former Federal Republic" and "New Länder and East-Berlin". Starting from 2005 the subareas are defined differently. The "Former Federal Republic" is shown excluding Berlin and the "New Länder" are shown including Berlin. These data are listed in a separate Ad-hoc-table - General schooling starting from 2005 - see "Refresh period of data".
