Head of the village
Source: BUS Rheinland-PfalzThe head of the village represents the interests of a local district vis-à-vis the organs of the municipality. He is elected by the citizens of the municipality who have been living in the district for at least 3 months on election day in accordance with the provisions applicable to the election of honorary mayors. In addition to his representative activities, the head of the village is also authorized to issue certificates, which he can issue on the basis of his local and personal knowledge.
In Rhineland-Palatinate, municipalities can divide their territory as a whole, or parts of it, into local districts. The main statute determines whether local districts are formed and how they are demarcated. The local districts are often formerly independent municipalities that were merged or incorporated in the course of a territorial reform.
Please note: From now on, there are new times for the local mayor's office hours.
