Titular city

A titular town is the name of a regional authority that formally bears the title of town and is usually an independent municipality , which, however, lacks several elements of a town.

The Prussian city ​​order of 1856, for example, differentiated between cities that were administered according to the city order and the titular cities that were administered according to the rural municipality order. Titular cities are historically a form of minor city . This differentiation no longer exists today.

A place is occasionally mentioned today as a city that has lost the title of city in the course of a municipal reorganization . In individual cases, the addition is used as part of the name for historical reasons or to differentiate it from other places. These are not titular cities, but the name component or addition city ​​of a town or district.
