  Text similarity detection aims at measuring the degree of similarity between
a pair of texts. Corpora available for text similarity detection are designed
to evaluate the algorithms to assess the paraphrase level among documents. In
this paper we present a textual German corpus for similarity detection. The
purpose of this corpus is to automatically assess the similarity between a pair
of texts and to evaluate different similarity measures, both for whole
documents or for individual sentences. Therefore we have calculated several
simple measures on our corpus based on a library of similarity functions.
