    Hi Slava,

    you might want to have a look at the database of Local Administrative
    Units that is maintained by the European Commission. It contains lists
    of names of places of most of the EU countries, among them Germany. It
    seems to be very well maintained, and can easily be converted to any
    file format.

    Here is the URL: http://ec.europa.eu/comm/eurostat/ramon/nuts/lau_en.html

    Regards,
    Holger
