Since Germany has no administrative level comparable to the townships of other countries, the vast majority of the country, close to 99%, is organized in municipalities (German: Gemeinde, plural Gemeinden), often consisting of multiple settlements which are not considered to be unincorporated.
Kuna Saksamaal ei ole haldustasandit, mis on võrreldav teiste riikide küladega, on suurem osa riigist, ligi 99%, organiseeritud valdadeks (saksa: Gemeinde, mitmuses Gemeinden), mis koosnevad sageli mitmest asulast, mida ei peeta inkorporeerimata aladeks.
