Governmental district

Vertikale Verwaltungsstruktur Deutschlands

vertical administrative structure of Germany

a district administration is an administrative authority with bundling of tasks, which are taken over by the Lands of the Federal Republic. In some Lands of the Federal Republic this state support authority is called government or district government. The district administrations stand as central instance (state support authority) between the Ministerialebene and the municipalities (and/or. lower Land authorities). The local scope of responsibility of a district administration is called governmental district. In smaller Lands of the Federal Republic this management level does not exist.

In almost all Lands of the Federal Republic one discusses to abolish the district administrations and the tasks on the Ministerial and/or. the localTo shift even one. Only in Baden-Wuerttemberg by the administrative reform of 2005 the district administrations were strengthened, as them many tasks of up to then independent Land authorities became to transfer.

history

already 1815/16 arranged Prussia its national territory into provinces andGovernmental districts. In the German Reich there were governmental districts likewise as central instance of the national administration. After 1945 they were furnished in the larger surface states again than national central instance. In North Rhine-Westphalia they exist until today still. The administrative authority for the governmental districts, their bordersin the course of their history several times changed, either “district administration”, “government”, “the head of the provincial government” or “district government” were called. Director/conductor of this authority is generally a head of the provincial government. In other surface states there were similar administrative units with different designations, z. B. “Circle captain shank” (in Saxonia)or “circle” (not to confound with the today's circles).
