Municipalities
The municipalities are the smallest self-government of the political
territorial organization. They are exempted from most county-level
cities, organized in community associations. The municipalities
are subject to the respective municipal law of one of 16 states
and are therefore not equal to organize nationwide. Only the town
as an administrative seat of a county can be found nationwide. The
local unit of Berlin and Hamburg are both as city-states and provinces.
