The Bayerischer Landkreistag is one of the four municipal umbrella associations in Bavaria with headquarters in Munich . All 71 districts in Bavaria belong to it.

history

After 1860 cities and municipalities merged into loose associations. 1919, (then the Bavarian counties districts called) in the wake of the upheavals in the political sphere then following new municipality constitutional law the "September 10, 1919 National Association of Bavarian districts established". Because the self-administration law of 1919 assigned the “districts”, today's “rural districts”, numerous tasks with extraordinary financial burdens, which the districts were barely able to handle at the time. In this respect, the amalgamation of the districts should ensure that the laws are implemented as uniformly as possible in all districts, especially in matters of self-government.

As part of the conformity , the regional association of Bavarian districts was dissolved after the takeover of the Nazi regime by the "Law on the German Municipal Assembly" of December 15, 1933 and transferred to the "Bavarian State Office of the German Municipal Assembly", a compulsory amalgamation of all German municipalities and Community associations was. This communal unit organization was largely subject to Nazi supervision.

After the Second World War , the general assembly in Ingolstadt re-established the “Landkreisverband Bayern” on August 29, 1947 , and a provisional statute was adopted which, after lengthy discussions, was replaced by a definitive statute on April 26, 1949 in Regensburg . Shortly thereafter, with the approval of the statutes, the Free State granted the Landkreisverband Bayern the status of a corporation under public law .

On April 26, 1989, the association passed a new statute (StAnz No. 28), which was last amended by the statutes of May 1, 2002 (StAnz No. 28). The new statutes came into force on May 1, 1990; since then, the association has called itself the “Bavarian District Association”.

  • the district assembly,
  • the presidium, as well
  • the state committee.

County Assembly
