„market “as place name

after the market right is not today otherwise regulated (in principle each municipality can hold markets), has the designation “market” a special contentwise meaning more. In Bavaria however municipalities on of them can do larger circle-belongingRequest also today still by the federal state government officially as the “market” to be explained. The Bavarian local legislation differentiates to that extent at municipalities circle-belonging between cities, markets and municipalities. “Market municipality” there is not the term in Bavaria. Basis is an appropriate regulation in thatGemeindeordnung for the Free State of Bavaria (Gemeindeordnung - GO). Here it means in article 3:

Cities and markets are called the municipalities, which lead this designation after past right or to which it is again lent by the Department of State of the inside.

The designation city or market may be lent only at municipalities, be corresponded those after number of inhabitants, settlement form and economical conditions of the designation.

If a municipalitya market, a weekly market, a flea market, fair or a world exhibition to organize would like, apply other criteria. The title market municipality is for this no condition. It is above all a decoration work for location marketing and for the public work of the municipality and hasin Bavaria and Austria, where tradition enjoys still another high value, quite its place.
