The Eppelsheimer-Köttelwesch, as the bibliography, named after its founders, is called, focusses on literature; only selected entries from the field of linguistics are provided.
The database includes mainly the international Germanistic secondary literature (monographs, newspaper articles, reviews, commemorative publications). Primary texts are only noted if the secondary literature of the reporting period refers to them. The bibliography is not just a list of titles, but also a record of the collection (without call numbers) of the University of Frankfurt (Main) Library.
