The Bavarian District Assembly is one of the four central municipal associations in Bavaria with its headquarters in Munich . All seven Bavarian districts (not: administrative districts ) belong to it. Until September 30, 2013 his name was Association of Bavarian Districts .

history

After the overthrow of the monarchy in 1918 and the first direct election of the district assembly, at that time still called district assembly - according to the then designation for today's districts, the then eight Bavarian districts merged in 1919 to form the Bavarian District Assembly. The main task was to protect the districts' newly acquired right to self-government.

As part of the conformity, the Bavarian District Association was dissolved after the National Socialist seizure of power by the "Law on the German Municipal Assembly" of December 15, 1933 and transferred to the "Bavarian State Office of the German Municipal Assembly ", which was a forced amalgamation of all German municipalities and municipal associations. This communal unit organization was largely subject to National Socialist supervision. At the same time, the districts were renamed "districts" following the Prussian nomenclature.

In 1946, the districts were re-established as the third municipal level by the Bavarian constitution under the name Kreise. After the Bavarian District Code was passed in 1953, the district council presidents of the now seven Bavarian districts formed a working group in 1954, which existed as a staff association until 1978. The Association of Bavarian Districts was founded in 1979 and recognized as the fourth municipal umbrella organization with equal rights. It was not until January 1, 1990 that the association was granted the status of a corporation under public law .

The founding president of the association was from 1979 to 2003 the Swabian state politician Georg Simnacher . He was followed from 2003 to 2013 by Manfred Hölzlein , President of the District Assembly of Lower Bavaria, and from 2013 to 2018 by Josef Mederer , President of the District Assembly of Upper Bavaria.

On October 1, 2013, the Association of Bavarian Districts was renamed to its current name.

Franz Löffler (CSU) has been president since 2018 , the first deputy is Barbara Holzmann (Greens), the second deputy is Rainer Schneider (Free Voters).
