[edit] "Amt" in English

What is the exact English translation of the term "Amt" as well as the names of other collective municipalities of Germany? --Criticalthinker 22:42, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

The exact translation is "office". And that's quite what it means: Small municipalities share one office which is doing all administrative tasks for them. 78.48.138.170 (talk) 22:19, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
