384 books and other written works in German have a recorded story setting in another country. There is no map: this is every country but one. Select a country to narrow the list.
The figure is an average per day across the five years to July 2026. Lookups — not readers, not copies sold, not library loans.
Set here. A book is on this page because its record says the story takes place here. A book has no filming location to fall back on, unlike a film, so a book with no recorded setting is simply not on this map.
