General Outline for Berlin
Each district of Berlin has a parliament similarly equipped Borough Assembly, which is, however, part of the administration. Each district has a district office, which includes the city councils with their subordinate administrative parts, also a mayor is elected in each district.
Each district consists of several districts, which are mostly historical origin, formerly independent cities, towns or rural communities that have been incorporated on 1 October 1920 after Greater Berlin and then joined together in 20 districts. Since Berlin has since become a unified community, the individual districts have no legal personality in the sense of a community, even if they have their own district administration. The districts are important as a clear-cut areas for statistical purposes and as an identification places. They are marked with a four-digit number, where the first two digits refer to the district.
In addition to the division into districts is a small-scale structure of the Berlin districts in 195 Statistical Areas that are marked with three-digit numbers. Such Statistical Area, for example, the Bavarian district of Schöneberg, where the streets especially after cities in Bavaria are named. The statistical areas correspond approximately to the local documents or residential areas ( neighborhood ). You can reach over across district boundaries; in such cases it is not possible a unique assignment to a particular area of a random district. Thus, for example, the Statistical Area Rudow Rudow partly in the village and partly in the village Gropius city.
For special purposes, there are further subdivisions of the statistical areas. For example, they are divided into the traffic planning in each designated traffic cells and these in turn in an unnamed part of traffic cells. An example would be the two partial traffic cells 00521 and 00522 of the traffic cell 0052 ( Potsdamer Brücke ) in Statistical Area 005 ( Lützowplatz ), the district for 0104 (Tiergarten ) in District 01 ( middle) part.
In common usage, the terms for the administration division often go through another. Both the official districts as well as the official districts are sometimes referred to as " neighborhoods " or " districts ". The spatial layers are often incorrectly referred to as "paid districts " or " districts ". This often stems from the fact that until the administrative reform in 2002, many of today's official districts themselves were districts or the names of former districts bear that were differentiated in only a further step in the usual local documents, called the district of usual until then.
