The Prussian Municipal Constitution Act (PrGemVG 1933) of December 15, 1933 standardized the previously fragmented municipal law in the Free State of Prussia . It marked the beginning of the National Socialist municipal legislation. The core of the provisions was the definition of the authority and position of the community leader in accordance with the leader principle .

All previously valid town and country codes have been repealed . From now on, a single municipal code applied to all previous Prussian town and country communities with the exception of the capital Berlin . From then on, the heads of the communities concerned were called “ mayors ” or, in district towns, “ mayors ”. These leaders were no longer elected, but called.

The Prussian Municipal Constitution Act was largely created under the leadership of Carl Schmitt . For the first time it contained comprehensive regulations on the economic and social activities of communities. The law was only valid in Prussia. In all the other member states of the German Reich , over 30 local state constitutions continued to apply until the introduction of the German municipal code.

The Municipal Constitution Act came into force on January 1, 1934 and was replaced on April 1, 1935 by the unified German municipal code of January 30, 1935.
