Parish parts file

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The municipality parts file is a directory of the officially named municipality parts in Bavaria . It has been published jointly in the form of a CSV file for a fee by the Bavarian State Office for Statistics and Data Processing and the Bavarian State Surveying Office since the 1990s and i. d. Usually updated annually. Only place names that were officially issued in accordance with Article 2 (2) of the Bavarian Municipal Code or that existed as early as 1952 are included in the directory. In the August 2012 edition, the community parts database lists 42,183 places for 2056 Bavarian communities.

Official local directories for Bavaria

The official local registers for Bavaria always appeared on the occasion of censuses , a few years after the respective census date, after evaluating the survey documents. The first official work with the claim to list all localities in Bavaria was the Complete Localities Directory of the Kingdom of Bavaria , published in 1877 , with status and dates on the date of the census on December 1, 1871. Other localities directories of the Royal Bavarian Statistical Bureau or published by the Bavarian State Statistical Office in 1888 (census December 1, 1885), 1904 (census December 1, 1900) and 1928 (census June 16, 1925) as well as the official register of places for Bavaria in 1952 (census September 13, 1950), 1964 (June 6, 1961 census), 1973, 1978, and 1991 ( May 25, 1987 census ). The volumes published in 1973 and 1978 both relate to the status and dates of the census date on May 27, 1970. The volume published in 1978 is a new edition of the material taking into account the regional reform in Bavaria that was completed on May 1, 1978 . Based on the census on May 9, 2011 , no new place directory was published.

Since the terms place or locality are not legally defined in Bavaria and can be understood as a synonym for every place of residence - i.e. also for places that have not been officially named - the digitally managed directory is referred to as a municipality parts file and thus uses the one used in the Bavarian municipal code Term on. The nine printed works published between 1877 and 1991 contained information on the resident population of the individual locations and were based on the results of the previous census. They were also given a topographical name such as Weiler or Kirchdorf . These designations were taken over into the municipality part file, but it no longer shows any population figures. The location descriptions contained in some of the earlier publications have been replaced by location coordinates in the file.

Number and topographical information of the parts of the municipality

The municipal parts file from 2012 contains information for 42,183 officially named municipal parts. The most frequent topographical information is deserted with around 15,000 entries, villages (also as a parish village or church village) with around 14,300 and hamlets with almost 11,000 entries, but four old people's homes or five power plants are also listed as parts of the municipality. The municipality with the largest number of officially named places is the Upper Bavarian Teisendorf with 226 parts of the municipality, followed by Dorfen (204 parts of the municipality) and Gangkofen (171). On average, around 20 places are officially named in each of the 2056 Bavarian municipalities, but the state capital of Munich and a number of municipalities in the surrounding area, for example, have not officially named parts of the municipality .

Legal meaning

According to Article 2 (2) of the Bavarian Municipal Code, parts of the municipality are officially named not by the municipality itself, but by the district or the administrative district as the legal supervisory authority after hearing the municipality council and the community citizens involved. New nominations are to be published in the Bavarian State Gazette and are subsequently included in the municipal parts file. The formally regulated procedure is not offset by any further significance of the official designation, because the Bavarian Municipal Code does not provide for any representative bodies for individual parts of the municipality in municipalities with fewer than 100,000 inhabitants. The city districts to be established in the large cities are formed independently of the official place names.
