List Of Cities And Towns In Germany
This is a complete list of the 2,055 cities and towns in Germany (as of 1 March 2022). There is no distinction between ''town'' and ''city'' in Germany; a ''Stadt'' is an independent municipality (see Municipalities of Germany) that has been given the right to use that title. In contrast, the generally smaller German municipalities that do not use this title, and are thus not included here, are usually just called ''Gemeinden''. Historically, the title ''Stadt'' was associated with town privileges, but today it is a mere honorific title. The title can be bestowed to a municipality by its respective state government and is generally given to such municipalities that have either had historic town rights or have attained considerable size and importance more recently. Towns with over 100,000 inhabitants are called ''Großstadt'', a statistical notion sometimes translated as "city", but having no effect on their administrative status. In this list, only the cities' and towns' names a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
