Berlin's 2001 Administrative Reform
Berlin is both a city and one of Germany’s federated states (city state). Since the 2001 administrative reform, it has been made up of twelve districts (german: Bezirke, ), each with its own administrative body. However, unlike the municipalities and counties of other German states, the Berlin districts are not territorial corporations of public law () with autonomous competencies and property, but simple administrative agencies of Berlin's state and city government, the City of Berlin forming a single municipality () since the Greater Berlin Act of 1920. Thus they cannot be equated to US or UK boroughs in the traditional meaning of the term. Each district possesses a district representatives' assembly () directly elected by proportional representation and an administrative body called district board (). The district board, comprising since October 2021 six (until then five) members - a district mayor () as head and five (earlier four) district councillors () - is elected by th ...

Bundesautobahn 100
is an Autobahn in Germany. The A 100 partially encloses the city centre of the German capital Berlin, running from the Wedding district of the Berlin- Mitte borough in a southwestern arc through Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf and Tempelhof-Schöneberg to Neukölln. It connects with the Bundesautobahn 111 (A 111) at the Charlottenburg interchange, with the A 115 (the former AVUS) at the Funkturm junction, and finally reaches the A 113 at its southeastern terminus in Neukölln, all linking it with the outer ''Berliner Ring'' A 10. The route in most parts runs parallel to the tracks of the inner circle line (''Ringbahn'') of the Berlin S-Bahn. The first section at western Kurfürstendamm was opened in 1958. According to the concept of a "car-friendly" city, the A 100 was then intended to become a ring road, but today a completion of the ring as an autobahn is no longer proposed. It is nonetheless still often called ''Stadtring'' ("city ring"). The section betwee ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
