(i.e. Cisleithanian) crown lands were subdivided in ''Katastralgemeinden''; surveying in the Hungarian (Transleithanian) lands started in 1850. Municipalities as administrative subdivisions with certain rights of self-governance were not established until after the 1848 revolutions. Most of the nowadays ''Katastralgemeinden'' once had been independent communes and were incorporated on the occasion of a municipal territory reforms. They can be further divided into smaller villages and localities (''Ortschaften''). there are 7,847 Katastralgemeinden in Austria. For land registration, the unit identifier used in a ''Katastralgemeinde'' is "KG-Nr" (KG-Nummer, or number). The Dutch system of ''kadastrale gemeenten'' was set up around 1830. When municipalities are merged, often the cadastral communes remain as they were, so one civil municipality can consist of more than one cadastral commune; but again, a cadastral commune can never be part of more than one civil municipality.
