Administrative centre
This article is about administrative districts. For the term administrative seat in the case of companies, see seat (legal person).
This article or paragraph presents the situation in Germany. Help describe the situation in other countries.
In administrative law, the administrative seat describes the place from which the area to be administered (the so-called administrative district) is administered. This concerns counties, municipalities, higher municipal associations and municipal associations.
Unlike in other countries, this does not mean that the German organisational system is tied to a particular administrative form such as a district or municipality. Depending on the form of the area layout, either the largest location in this area or as central a location as possible with suitable infrastructure (e.g. contiguous office space, Internet connection) is usually chosen.
