Association of German Cities

The Association of German Cities is the voice of cities. The Association represents the interests of all autonomous cities and most county-affiliated cities. As a community of solidarity of cities it represents the idea of local self-government to Federal Government, Federal States (Bundesländer), European Union, governmental and non-governmental organisations. The work and services of the Association of German Cities are primarily geared to the needs and interests of the member cities and their citizens.
