The texts were digitized using the double-keying technique, each text was keyed in by two individuals and the results compared electronically to eliminate errors. The texts were then annotated in a way compatible with similar historical linguistic corpora of English, and marked up in accordance with the TEI Lite guidelines using XML. The corpus was completed in April 2007.

2000 word samples from five regions - North Germany, West Germany, East Central Germany, South-West Germany (including Switzerland) and South-East Germany (including Austria) within three periods of fifty years (1650-1700, 1701-1750 and 1751-1800). Three samples were taken from each period for each region, giving a total size from the pilot project of 100,000 words.
