Launched in September 2011, daten.berlin.de was one of Germany's earliest state/municipal open-data portals — starting with roughly two dozen datasets and growing to thousands, published under open licences such as CC BY and CC0. Run by the Land Berlin (Senate Chancellery), it is a CKAN-based metadata catalogue now backed by the city-state's E-Government Act, an Open Data Ordinance, and a 2023 Open Data Strategy.
