Since the last administrative reform in 1975, the City of Cologne is made up of nine Stadtbezirke and 86 Stadtteile. Stadtbezirk literally translates as city district, which are further subdivided into Stadtteile (city parts).

In regard to population, Cologne is the largest city in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and the fourth largest city in Germany.
