Counties or counties and other names

The following rules have been and still apply to the designations district and district :

In the countries outside Prussia, different names were used, e.g. B .:
- Administrative authorities in Saxony
- District offices in Baden and Bavaria
- Upper offices in Württemberg
From January 1, 1939, the uniform designation in the German Reich was with the exception of Prussia's district .

Independent cities or urban districts and other names

In the countries outside of Prussia, different names were used, but the name of a city that was not a district has usually prevailed.
In some countries, the name Stadtkreis was just a highlight within the district. The city concerned did not leave the district association. Nowadays, such cities have been given the designation large district town or the like.
