For municipalities it was stipulated that these should include at least 12,000 inhabitants (main residence on June 30, 2009), for municipalities not belonging to the association, the number of inhabitants was set at 10,000. The so-called voluntary phase ended on June 30, 2012.
All participating municipalities agreed on June 28, 2012 the voluntary formation of the new association municipality. The corresponding state law was passed on May 8, 2013.
