Collar office

Collar office is the unofficial name for an office whose administrative office is located in a municipality that does not belong to the office, which is surrounded like a collar by the surrounding municipalities belonging to the office . In the official seat there are usually two administrations side by side, namely that of the municipality itself and that of the office. In many places, former collar offices were dissolved, mostly through the incorporation of the non-official municipality in which the official seat is located. Most of the dissolutions took place as part of nationwide territorial reforms .

Current

Brandenburg

At the moment there is only one office in this sense, the Barnim-Oderbruch office. Its seat is in the city of Wriezen . There used to be a lot more collar offices, many of which surrounded a city with a center function and bore its name, for example the office Templin-Land with its seat in Templin . In this, as in many other cases, the office was dissolved by incorporations, especially those communities in which the office was located were enlarged.

Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania

A typical collar office is the Grevesmühlen-Land office . The eponymous city of Grevesmühlen is the seat of the office and forms an administrative community with the office. Further examples are:

Historical

In two federal states there used to be offices that were taken over from the Rhine Province and the Province of Westphalia and emerged from the mayor's offices . These administrative communities were either completely abolished (North Rhine-Westphalia) or they were converted into new administrative communities ( Verbandsgemeinde , Rhineland-Palatinate).

Office Ahlen , seat Ahlen

Office Attendorn , seat Attendorn

The following municipalities, for example, can be described as collar offices in the broader sense:

The Verbandsgemeinde Cochem-Land was also a collar office before it merged with the city of Cochem to form the Verbandsgemeinde Cochem .
