Deutscher Städtetag

The Deutscher Städtetag ('Association of German Cities') is an organization that represents interests of cities in Germany.[1] It began in 1905, dissolved in 1933, then re-formed in 1945.[2] As of 2019 some 200 cities comprise its membership. The association's mission centers on sustaining the guarantee of local self-governance specified in the Grundgesetz für die Bundesrepublik Deutschland (German constitution), Article 28, paragraph 2.[3][4]

Member cities

Listed below are the approximately 200 member cities and towns of the Deutsche Städtetag, also referred to as Direct members (Unmittelbare Mitglieder) by the organization. In addition there are approximately another 3,000 cities and towns that are indirect members (Mittelbare Mitglieder). This means that they are not members of the Deutsche Städtetag itself, but are members of at least one of its Member associations (Mitgliedsverbände), such as the Städtetag Nordrhein-Westfalen or the Städte- und Gemeindebund Sachsen-Anhalt, for instance.[5]
