List of independent cities in Germany

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Counties in Germany
  • Independent cities in Germany
    • Political division of Germany into states , administrative districts , (rural) districts and independent cities

    This list contains the independent cities in Germany . There are 107 independent cities in which at the end of 2011 a total of over 25 million people lived. That corresponded to almost a third of the population of Germany .

    In Baden-Württemberg , urban districts are known as urban districts . Special cases are Aachen , Göttingen and Hanover , which are not independent of a district, but to which certain rights of an independent city are granted, as well as Berlin and Hamburg , which are also one state . The state of Bremen has an unusual administrative structure in a national comparison, Bremen and Bremerhaven are considered to be independent municipalities in the state of Bremen and thus also as independent cities. Since Saarbrücken - like Hanover and Aachen, a member of a special kind of local authority association - have not explicitly been granted similar special rights, they are not listed here.

    The cities that have since been deprived of their district freedom are listed in the historical list of all independent cities . Thirteen large cities are not independent of a district, the largest of them is - in addition to the cities Aachen, Göttingen and Hanover, which are not formally independent but are nevertheless listed in this list - the Saarland city of Saarbrücken ( 000000000180374.0000000000180,374 inhabitants), followed by the North Rhine-Westphalian city of Neuss ( 000000000153896.0000000000153,896) . Other major cities belonging to the district are Paderborn ( 000000000151633.0000000000151,633), Recklinghausen ( 000000000111397.0000000000111,397), Reutlingen ( 000000000115966.0000000000115,966), Bergisch Gladbach ( 000000000111846.0000000000111,846), Moers ( 000000000103902.0000000000103,902), Siegen ( 000000000102770.0000000000102,770), Hildesheim ( 000000000101693.0000000000101,693) and Gütersloh ( 000000000100861.0000000000100,861).

    The independent cities are distributed among the individual countries as follows (alphabetical order):
