Landrat

The Landrat (German pronunciation: [ˈlantˌʁaːt] ⓘ) is the chief administrative officer of a German Landkreis or Kreis and thus the highest municipal official. In most states they are also the lower state administrative authority (so-called "dual position" of the Landrat). They represent the Kreis externally and are elected in most States of Germany directly.
