Sub-authority
In the German multi-level authority structure of the highest, upper, middle and lower authority, a sub-authority is the federal or state authority at the end of the hierarchy line.
It is generally responsible in the local catchment area and subordinated to an intermediate authority in the three-tier authority structure. In the two-stage authority structure, it is directly subordinate to a top authority.
Since the execution of laws is usually the responsibility of the federal states, there are only a few sub-authorities in the area of federal administration.
Lower federal authorities are:
- Bundeswehr service centers
- Federal Police Directorates (formerly: Federal Police Offices)
- Waterways and Shipping Offices
- New waterways building authorities
- Main customs offices (including customs offices )
- Customs investigation offices
Until the suspension of compulsory military service and its subsequent dissolution with effect from November 30, 2012, the district military replacement offices were also lower federal authorities.
Lower state authorities in Hesse are, for example:
- District Administrator as the authority of the state administration
- Offices for land management
- Pension offices (officially: Hessian offices for care and social affairs )
- Tax offices
Until it was incorporated into the Gießen regional council in November 2016, the Hessian initial reception facility for refugees was also a lower state authority; since then it has only been a department of a state funds authority.
