German Legal Code Sections in HTML and Markdown Format

A preprocessed export of German laws indexed by the Open Legal Data Platform. Each row is a single law section, carrying both the original HTML and a Markdown-converted body. The dataset was automatically generated and uploaded to the Hugging Face Hub using oldp-toolkit.

Use Cases
