Regional Association of the Hohenzollern Lands
The Landeskommunalverband der Hohenzollerische Lande was a public corporation for the self-administration of the affairs of the Hohenzollerische Lande . The higher municipal association initially consisted of the upper offices of Hechingen and Haigerloch , which were combined to form the district of Hechingen in 1925 , and the higher offices of Gammertingen and Sigmaringen , which formed the district of Sigmaringen from 1925 .
history
The association was founded in 1873, the legal basis was initially the official and state regulations, from 1950 the law on the self-government of the Hohenzollerische Lande, the state municipal association was dissolved in 1973.
As part of Prussia , the Landtag in Berlin has been the parliamentary representation of the Hohenzollern Lands since the establishment of the German Empire in 1871. But since no competent decisions for the remote Hohenzollern were to be expected from the distant "state capital", it was granted a kind of special parliament in 1875 with the state municipal association. At this time, all Prussian provinces received newly drafted parliaments, the provincial parliaments, the Prussian districts formed a higher municipal association at the provincial level called the Provincial Association , in the Hohenzollern Lands differently called the State Municipal Association . The regional association was responsible for economic and social policy, for cultural promotion and transport planning. It met in Sigmaringen and consisted of 16 members, since 1890 in a specially established state house .
After the Second World War and the dissolution of the State of Prussia, the entire area came to the State of Württemberg-Hohenzollern, which was founded in 1947 . However, the state communal association of the Hohenzollern Lands continued to exist due to the partial self-administration right for Hohenzollern people guaranteed under Article 2 of the constitution. This meant that the Sigmaringen and Hechingen districts continued to have a special parliament with the state municipal parliament, which met in Sigmaringen parallel to the Bebenhauser state parliament . The communal parliament now consisted of 20 members, who were elected by the district assemblies of the Hechingen and Sigmaringen districts, each district assembly elected ten members.
This remained the case even after the state of Baden-Württemberg was founded in 1952; the state municipal association was only dissolved on January 1, 1973 in the course of the district reform in 1973 . Its tasks were distributed to the state of Baden-Württemberg, the state welfare association , the central treasury of cattle owners and the districts. The Sigmaringen district is the legal successor to the state association .
