Klexikon
This dataset represents a full scrape (approx. 1.3M lexical tokens) of the website Klexikon (Kinder-Lexikon), a German children's Wikipedia. Texts were collected on Feb 20, 2025.
All texts are licensed under cc-by-sa-4.0.
The individual text files contain only the body text of the individual articles (and sometimes metatextual information, like author names). We did some light cleaning, but otherwise the texts are provided as they were scraped.
Another older (2022) Klexikon dump can be found here.
