A deelgemeente (literally: part-municipality) is a subdivision of a gemeente (municipality) in Belgium and the Netherlands.
[edit] Belgium
Each municipality which existed as a separate entity on the first of January 1961, and no longer existed as such after the first of January 1977 is considered a deelgemeente within most municipalities.
In general these deelgemeenten are not a level of administration. Only in the municipality of Antwerp they are the lowest level of administration and are called districts.
[edit] Netherlands
Deelgemeenten can be found in Rotterdam and Amsterdam. In Amsterdam 14 of the 15 deelgemeenten are called stadsdeel.
