German books by setting

The sixteen regions hold 230 placements between them, against 384 books set outside Germany on the one row with no shape. Berlin is the largest of the sixteen with 51, then 40 in the region behind it.

A book set in more than one place is on the row of each, so the Titles column above totals 614 against the 575 that say where they are set.

The second figure is the share among the 200 most looked-up, so a region can hold a different share of each: Hamburg rises from 2.1% to 4%, and Niedersachsen falls from 4.2% to 1.5%. Counted on where a book is set, and a book has no filming location to fall back on. 384 books are set outside Germany, on the last row rather than on the map, and 112 more name Germany itself. Bremen, Saarland and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern hold fewer than three books and are drawn all the same. Thirteen regions hold no series and say so rather than printing a dash, shares pass a hundred because a book set in two regions counts in both, and the top-200 share is greyed on the ten under ten books, where one title moves it too far.

575 of the books on the whole list say where they are set.
