Landesstraße
''Landesstraßen'' (singular: ''Landesstraße'') are roads in Germany and Austria that are, as a rule, the responsibility of the respective German or Austrian federal state. The term may therefore be translated as "state road". They are roads that cross the boundary of a rural or urban district (''Landkreis'' or ''Kreisfreie Stadt''). A ''Landesstraße'' is thus less important than a ''Bundesstraße'' or federal road, but more significant than a ''Kreisstraße'' or district road. The classification of a road as a ''Landesstraße'' is a legal matter (''Widmung''). In the free states of Bavaria and Saxony – but not, however, in the Free State of Thuringia – ''Landesstraßen'' are known as ''Staatsstraßen''. Designation The abbreviation for a ''Landesstraße'' consists of a prefixed capital letter ''L'' and a serial number (e. g. L 1, L 83, L 262 or L 3190). ''Staatsstraßen'' in Saxony are similarly abbreviated using a capital ''S'' (e. g. S 190) and the ''Staatsstraßen' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Villages In Bavaria
A village is a clustered human settlement or community, larger than a hamlet but smaller than a town (although the word is often used to describe both hamlets and smaller towns), with a population typically ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand. Though villages are often located in rural areas, the term urban village is also applied to certain urban neighborhoods. Villages are normally permanent, with fixed dwellings; however, transient villages can occur. Further, the dwellings of a village are fairly close to one another, not scattered broadly over the landscape, as a dispersed settlement. In the past, villages were a usual form of community for societies that practice subsistence agriculture, and also for some non-agricultural societies. In Great Britain, a hamlet earned the right to be called a village when it built a church. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
