Kilian,
*****"dot matrix printed lists from the 1980s"*****
I am impressed! This sounds like a perfect opportunity for some
crowd-sourced lists on Wikipedia. It would be awesome to start a WikiProject
specifically to do just this one set of lists in this one section of the
country, and then maybe others will follow...
It could give a whole new meaning to Germany's nomination of "Wikipedia for
World Heritage"!

Awesome events! I love to see a blogpost about
this. I will try to add the
Hesse lists this week. How are the lists coming along in other parts of
Germany?
I'm not sure, but there's a slow but steady progress. I'll try to get an
overview until mid August, but I fear that there are many blank spots left.
Hesse is as complete as it gets, for many areas not even the administration
itself has usable lists (I visited them and they showed me some dot matrix
printed lists from the 1980s that even they can't use as a tool to figure
out which building is a monument).
While we have little problems converting pdfs and excel sheets we get,
collecting the data in the first place is our biggest issue. Many
organizations are hesitant to release their digital lists (even though it's
publicized already) and we just don't have the capacities to talk to all of
them personally.
I'll keep you updated.
Kilian
