Kommunen
Kommunen are local government units in Germany that manage various public services and administrative tasks. They are responsible for areas such as education, public safety, and local infrastructure. Each Gemeinde (municipality) operates independently, allowing for tailored solutions to meet the needs of its residents.
In Germany, there are three main types of Kommunen: Städte (cities), Gemeinden (towns), and Landkreise (districts). These entities play a crucial role in the federal system, as they are the closest level of government to the citizens, facilitating community engagement and local decision-making.
