Higher communal associations in North Rhine-Westphalia
are a difficult subject, as their territories partially overlap. There
are two higher communal associations that are basically congruent with
the borders of former Prussian provinces, the
Landschaftsverband Rheinland and the
Landschaftsverband Westfalen-Lippe.
Furthermore a part of Westfalen-Lippe also forms the Landesverband
Lippe (former state of Lippe), and
there is a Kommunalverband Ruhrgebiet
containing territories of Rheinland and Westfalen-Lippe.

County-Free City Flags / Flaggen kreisfreier Städte
There are twenty-three county-free cities (kreisfreie Städte) in
North Rhine-Westphalia.
