👉 Regierungspräsident (Germany) in the context of Regierungsbezirk

A Regierungsbezirk (German pronunciation: [ʁeˈɡiːʁʊŋsbəˌtsɪʁk] , literally 'governmental district') is a type of administrative division in Germany. Currently, four of sixteen Länder (states of Germany) are split into Regierungsbezirke. Beneath these are rural and urban districts.

Regierungsbezirke (plural, pronounced [ʁeˈɡiːʁʊŋsbəˌtsɪʁkə] ) serve as regional mid-level local government units in four of Germany's sixteen states: Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Hesse and North Rhine-Westphalia. Each of the nineteen Regierungsbezirke features a non-legislative governing body called a Regierungspräsidium (governing presidium) or Bezirksregierung (district government) headed by a Regierungspräsident (governing president), concerned mostly with administrative decisions on a local level for districts within its jurisdiction. Saxony has Direktionsbezirke (directorate districts) with more responsibilities shifted from the state parliament.
