Landscape Assembly Rhineland
The Rhineland Landscape Assembly (or Rhenish Council ) is the association assembly of the higher municipal association Rhineland Landscape Association .
The landscape assembly is in the tradition of the provincial parishes (provincial estates) of the Rhine province , whose meeting place was the Ständehaus in Düsseldorf until the 1930s .
Members of the landscape assembly are 128 elected representatives of the association members, ie the districts and independent cities. As a rule, these are representatives of the political parties, the free electoral communities or groups otherwise represented in the municipalities. The number of seats is based on the results of the last local elections . Not only members of the district councils and city councils, but also civil servants and other employees of the member municipalities are eligible . Within the landscape assembly, the assembly members form factions .
Jürgen Wilhelm (SPD) is the chairman of the 13th and 14th landscape assembly .
The task of the landscape assembly is to decide on fundamental issues and to approve the budget of the landscape association. The assembly forms special committees for the various areas of responsibility of the association. The plenum usually meets twice a year in public in the building of the Landscape Association in Cologne . It elects the landscape committee, the state director and the state councils.
Since the Landschaftsverband Rheinland, in contrast to the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, has no state quality, it has no legislative power, but is part of the executive.
