Powiat
A ''powiat'' (pronounced ; Polish plural: ''powiaty'') is the second-level unit of local government and administration in Poland, equivalent to a county, district or prefecture ( LAU-1, formerly NUTS-4) in other countries. The term "''powiat''" is most often translated into English as "county" or "district" (sometimes "poviat"). In historical contexts this may be confusing because the Polish term ''hrabstwo'' (an administrative unit administered/owned by a ''hrabia'' (count) is also literally translated as "county". A ''powiat'' is part of a larger unit, the voivodeship (Polish ''województwo'') or province. A ''powiat'' is usually subdivided into '' gmina''s (in English, often referred to as "communes" or "municipalities"). Major towns and cities, however, function as separate counties in their own right, without subdivision into ''gmina''s. They are termed " city counties" (''powiaty grodzkie'' or, more formally, ''miasta na prawach powiatu'') and have roughly the same ...

District Office Building, Września
The District office, Września ( pl, Budynek starostwa we Wrześni) is the office building in which administrative functions for Września County are carried out. It is located south of the town's market (''Rynek''), on Chopin Street. During the Partitions of Poland, the building was called the "landratura", and the adjacent starost's villa was referred to as the Landrat's villa, as Września was then part of the Kingdom of Prussia. Creation Up to the 17th century, the land that now houses the office and adjacent villa was occupied by a cemetery belonging to the Church of the Holy Spirit. After the liquidation of the church, the plot remained neglected and unused for a long time. In 1848, it was purchased by Xavier Stelmachowski, a builder from Września. Two years later, part of the cemetery land was purchased to build the headquarters of the district authorities for Września County, which had been created in 1818. The remainder of the land was purchased in 1911 with the idea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
