Regional particularities
Baden-Württemberg
Every spatially delimited, specially named and permanently inhabited place is referred to as a living space, in particular also the main places of communities. For example, the living space directory of Württemberg-Baden , published in 1952, classifies the residential spaces into the following groups: city (more precisely: the main town of a municipality called “city” ), parish village, village, parish hamlet, hamlet, castle, courtyards, houses, courtyard, house.
The Baden-Württemberg municipal code (GemO) does not use the word residential space. However, residential spaces often serve as the basis for the definition of the following municipal units, the delimitation and designation of which is regulated in the main statute of the respective municipality:
- City or districts ,
- Locations according to § 68 GemO,
- Electoral districts for the false suburbs according to § 27 GemO.
Brandenburg
The term residential space in Brandenburg covers settlements and parts of settlements that are neither districts according to § 45 of the municipal constitution of the state of Brandenburg (BbgKVerf), nor are named as part of the municipality in the main statute of the municipality. Residential places have grown historically.
North Rhine-Westphalia
As a living space will be referred deviating from the purely geographical definition settlement spatially closed in some places, continuously inhabited settlements are a politically of dependent statistical part of a community. Only a few cities in North Rhine-Westphalia use this term according to their main statutes and designate sub-units of their statistical districts as residential areas, regardless of the settlement history. Examples are Neuss and Hennef and until 2015 in Bergisch Gladbach .
Saxony-Anhalt
The geographic information authority of the State of Saxony-Anhalt, the State Office for Surveying and Geographic Information Saxony-Anhalt (LVermGeo) uses the term in official maps to identify settlements that are not classified as districts or higher. In state law, the term residential space is not used.
archeology
In archeology , especially in northern Germany, living space is sometimes used as a synonym for site or settlement , such as the "living space of Hohen Viecheln". The presence or number of buildings is irrelevant here. Thus Duvensee living space 13 as a single structure, a fire pit , the findings show the short-term presence of a person who did not even stayed here for sure. Bokelmann therefore also uses the more neutral expression “storage place” ( storage ).
