List of former cities in Germany

This article contains a list of former cities in Germany today . This refers to formerly politically independent municipalities with city rights that were incorporated into other cities, have merged with other places to form a new city or municipality with a different name or have lost their city rights. For the sake of completeness, cities are also listed that have only changed their names as a result of the incorporation of other places, although, strictly speaking, these have not lost their independence.

The list is essentially limited to the period from the end of the 19th century, when industrialization and increased administrative efficiency caused two opposing developments for the number of cities: on the one hand, many previously rural communities grew into new cities, on the other hand, there was a process of concentration which larger cities incorporated their smaller neighboring communities, some of which had only recently received city rights themselves. In order to make these developments easier to understand, the date of the granting of city rights is also given for places that have only been cities for a short time. The developments mentioned continue to this day, at a slower rate.

Events that took place before approx. 1850 are only included in this list to a limited extent; besides the problem of making a complete list, it would also be difficult to delineate these cases precisely. Some representative examples of such former cities are medieval foundations of new towns or suburbs that were later united with the old towns (examples: Erlangen or Hildesheim ), parts of twin towns (e.g. Berlin / Cölln and Rottenburg / Ehingen am Neckar) or places whose town charter was forgotten due to a loss of importance (examples in Württemberg: Horrheim, Hohenhaslach or Gutenberg). Furthermore, there are borderline cases such as the soft pictures of Braunschweig as well as numerous minor cities .

The list is presumably complete for Bavaria, Bremen, Hamburg, Schleswig-Holstein and Berlin; for other countries it is presumably incomplete.

Sources refer to notices in legal or official gazettes or to information from the state statistical offices. Information that is not linked to a source is taken from secondary sources such as websites or other Wikipedia articles. Since these secondary sources often provide imprecise information about the date and type of reorganization (incorporation, association or renaming), some of these information must be provided with reservation.
