In Poland this village is considered a town because 800 ago some Piast dynasty dude (Henry II the Pious) gave it those rights. There's thousands places like this in Poland. Pointless.
Pointless laws
Are smaller municipalities not fused with others in order to ease the administrative costs?
No one wants to fuse, it's even barely possible for a city to absorb some shitty villages that are just outside it's borders and use it's water processing, schools, city communication etc.
no, not a thing here because our municipalities have their self-governance guaranteed by law, it's impossible to merge two municipalities without their agreement and obviously no mayor ever agrees to lose his job willingly
to ease costs they just sign agreements between several municipalities so some communal tasks like garbage collection or public transport are handled collectively
though im afraid sooner or later something will have to be done because due to rapid depopulation of rural areas we will have dozens of municipalities with barely any people living there, they won't be able to maintain the administrative costs of their existence
Other way around they split ass much as possible so beurocratic class can have it do nothin 9 to 5 coffee break.
Also sow smaller "towns".
Hate beurocratic class parasites.
Henry II the Pious
he identified himself as a man of German culture, only spoke German and happily germanized his realm, bringing German settlers in and removing Polish language from the court
...and at the same time he is regarded as one of the greatest rulers and Silesia achieved greatest prosperity and development under his hand
I just brought two facts, there's no need for discussion because it's pointless.
Must consider buying things only on black market so the class won't get it's cut.
You're a fucking jest nigger that lies everywhere and you will get fucked hard when we get you
It doesn't really matter here since it's not a legal recognition anymore but we also have a few of those "city" villages while The Hague for example is not a city by the same definition
lol. no mayor wants to give up his office. we have similar problems in austria. lots of ultra small municipalities that absolutely refuse to fusion with larger ones. doesnt help that the voters punished every such fusion that happened in the last 20 years.
Jeet nigger
they split ass much as possible so beurocratic class can have it do nothin 9 to 5 coffee break.
it also makes corrupt deals easier to pull off, less monitoring when decisions happen in 4 village councils instead of 1 town council.
There are many cases in Germany where the fusion of munincipalities was forced from top down but only in a few cases was there serious butthurt about it. Here the concept of destinct District Mayors probably helps when it comes to retaining a sense of very local authority.
My city has swallowed multiple municipalities and they all fought tooth & nail because their local taxes increased x4 at the very least to pay for the rainbow crossings, Mbombo welfare and diversity officers.
All of this to increase efficiency
How does the economy of such small villages work? I don't see any large fences, farms or plots of cultivated land there.
Villages are mainly for living with the people working elsewhere
where the fusion of munincipalities was forced from top down
it happened here once afaik when due to mayor's financial mismanagement the municipality was burdened with debts so it was impossible to clear it out, but that's a very special situation, generally it doesn't happen
how expensive can rainbow crossings be?
Then how is the village budget replenished or do the metropolitan cities of the country finance such villages? Obviously quite a lot of money is needed to maintain the infrastructure of such villages. For example, even in my country 1km of normal asphalt costs about 3-4mln $.
In Germany it is a mixture of federal grants (mainly for special construction projects) and the tax income (housing, petrol, commercial, foodstuffs, etc.) of the respective municipality.
I would imagine that this holds true for most munincipalities in Europe.
this is why Austria-Hungary had the stereotype of being an overbureaucratized hellhole while German Empire was known for its economic efficiency and minimal administration involved
still holds true even 100 years after!
because it's not a real village, just a small town, OP is saying bullshit because the whole point of his thread is to boast about le Polish places looking like straight out of Germany means Poland is western/central and has nothing to do with Russia blablabla
and small towns' economy is mostly based on providing services to nearby villages and farmers + some small towns just have one or two bigger factories/businesses that keep the local economy going
also, by a small town I mean an actual small town far away from a big city
those closer to big cities are just satellite towns where people sleep&live but work in the nearby big city and they are a whole different category, they do not share the same issues with real small towns
yes. my country sucks and i suffer greatly here.
don't worry bro, just because you're only 99% Perfekt and not 100% Perfekt like your northern saupreiB brothers doesn't mean you suck
we fused a bunch of them giving us towns comparable in size to large cities. Wittstock and Neuruppin among the largest townships in Germany by area. Larger than some cities.
this place only looks that nice and well organized because it was arranged by German colonists
meanwhile, average village in eastern Poland b like
The reform of the munincipalities occured since the 1960s.
I would imagine that the German Empire was still very autistic with its cities, towns and villages - as is evident by the fact that the city of Cologne only reached its current extent as it swallowed six formerly independant munincipalities in the 1970s.
i still don't get why Bremen is a land on its own but Munich is not
though im not sure if it's better or worse for a big city to be a separate land
Bremen became part of the occupation zone of the USA, so that could have a harbor in northern Germany and thus was able to retain more independance than other parts of Lower Saxony, that were situated in the occupation zone of the UK.
It also helped that Bremen has a rich hanseatic history.
And Munich was never an independent city.
ok, does being a separate land give you some special privileges? is it generally better for big cities to be lands on their own or not?
because if it was really beneficial then I guess Munich political elites would probably lobby for granting them this status which should be rather easy since Germany is not occupied anymore
Yes. The cities of Berlin, Bremen and Hamburg are their own federal states and as such have all of the rights and obligations as the other federal states have.
is it generally better for big cities to be lands on their own or not?
Depends on a myriad of factors.
because if it was really beneficial then I guess Munich political elites would probably lobby for granting them this status which should be rather easy since Germany is not occupied anymore
No because a general referendum is needed for a new federal state to be created.
I know this is a secret brag that you have a nice village but it doesn't change the fact that your people are degenerate alcoholics and junkies.
Gosh, why talking to Germans always feels like talking to an AI bot?
I mean, their posts are informative, straight to the point, providing every piece of information I need and asked for but they're extremely soulless and unemotional
I hoped for some funny, even if totally made up anectodes about fat drunk CSU politicians from Bavaria yodelling in lederhosen in the streets of Berlin demanding a separate land status for Munich and I got just...a legit answer
Live is not a fairy tale, du dumme Fotze.
...but life would be certainly better if Munich was a land
Probably not.
ok saupreiB
Neger, why would Bavaria give up Munich?
so it was associated with what it should be associated with (fat drunk guys yodelling in lederhosen) rather than with usual big city globohomo leftie-progressive stuff?
The alpine area of Bavaria makes up a small part of the state.
stop being so uptight
Stop being so wrong.
