[[File:Ortsbezirke-trier.png|thumb|Districts of Trier]]
The Trier urban area is divided into '''19 city districts'''. For each district there is an ''[[:de:Ortsbeirat|Ortsbeirat]]'' (local council) of between 9 and 15 members, as well as an ''[[:de:Ortsvorsteher|Ortsvorsteher]]'' (local representative). The local councils are charged with hearing the important issues that affect the district, although the final decision on any issue rests with the city council. The local councils nevertheless have the freedom to undertake limited measures within the bounds of their districts and their budgets.
