Wappen von Brand - Aachen / NRW / Germany - Coats of Arms on Waymarking.com

[DE]

Das Stadtgebiet Aachens gliedert sich in die sieben Stadtbezirke Aachen-Mitte, Brand, Eilendorf, Haaren, Kornelimünster/Walheim, Laurensberg und Richterich. Jeder Stadtbezirk hat eine eigene Bezirksvertretung mit einem Bezirksvorsteher sowie ein eigenes Bezirksamt. Die Bezirksvertretung wird von der Bevölkerung des Stadtbezirks bei jeder Kommunalwahl gewählt. Einige der Stadtbezirke sind für statistische Zwecke in statistische Bezirke unterteilt.

Die Gemarkungen Aachens, die teilweise mit den Stadtbezirken übereinstimmen, bilden eine Unterteilung des Stadtgebiets für Katasterzwecke.

Unabhängig von diesen amtlichen Stadtgliederungen gibt es in Aachen zahlreiche weitere Ortsbezeichnungen für Stadtteile und -viertel, Ortschaften und Siedlungen, die allgemein als Ortsteile Aachens gelten.

The urban area of Aachen is divided into the seven districts of Aachen-Mitte, Brand, Eilendorf, Haaren, Kornelimünster / Walheim, Laurensberg and Richterich. Each city district has its own district council with a district head and its own district office. The district council is elected by the population of the city district in each local election. Some of the city districts are divided into statistical districts for statistical purposes.

The districts of Aachen, which partly coincide with the city districts, form a subdivision of the city area for cadastral purposes.

Independent of these official city divisions, there are numerous other place names in Aachen for city districts and districts, localities and settlements that are generally considered to be districts of Aachen.
