| Summary: | Far-right activism materializes in music events, marches, and violence. Yet, the empirical links between these types of activism remain unclear. Quantifying these manifestations is difficult because of fragmented reporting and inconsistent geocoding at the local level. We introduce the Far-Right Activism (FARAC) dataset, a panel (2013-2024) that aggregates German federal parliamentary inquiries and civil society records at the county level. The dataset addresses the problem of regional assignment by standardizing all event records in accordance with 2024 administrative boundaries. This harmonized structure permits the first systematic, local-level comparison of far-right activism. It uses standard administrative identifiers, enabling direct integration with electoral results, sociodemographic indicators, and other county-level datasets. |
