Cadastral community

Last updated

A cadastral community [1] [2] (or cadastre community, [3] cadastral [or cadastre] municipality, [4] [5] [6] cadastral [or cadastre] commune, [7] [8] cadastral [or cadastre] unit, [7] cadastral [or cadastre] district, [9] [10] cadastral [or cadastre] area, [7] cadastral [or cadastre] territory [7] ) is a cadastral subdivision of municipalities in the nations of Austria, [11] Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, [5] [12] the Czech Republic, [13] Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, [2] [4] the Netherlands, and the Italian provinces of South Tyrol, Trentino, Gorizia and Trieste. A cadastral community records property ownership in a cadastre, which is a register describing property ownership by boundary lines of the real estate.

The common etymology in the Central European successor states of the Habsburg monarchy comes from German : Katastralgemeinde (KG; literally "cadastral municipality" or "cadastral community"), plural: Katastralgemeinden, [5] [11] translated as Italian : comune censuario or comune catastale, Slovene : katastralna občina, Croatian : katastarska općina. In Czech and Slovak, the historical name (Czech : katastrální obec, Slovak : katastrálna obec, literally "cadastral municipality/community") was changed to Czech : katastrální území and Slovak : katastrálne územie (literally "cadastral area" or "cadastral territory") in 1928 and today, on official websites, it is usually translated to English by the (misleading) terms "cadastral unit" in Czechia and "cadastral district" in Slovakia. In what is today Hungary, the concept and term (Hungarian : kataszteri község) existed only in the past.

History

In 1764, at the behest of Empress Maria Theresa, a complete survey of the Habsburg lands was begun, [14] initiated by the general staff of the Imperial and Royal Army under Field Marshal Count Leopold Joseph von Daun, who had become aware of the lack of reliable maps in the Seven Years' War. Maria Theresa's son Emperor Joseph II ordered the implication of a complete urbarium for property tax purposes in 1785. The present-day cadastre was completed after the Napoleonic Wars from 1817 onwards under Emperor Francis I of Austria (Franziszeischer Kataster). Since then, the Austrian (i.e. Cisleithanian) crown lands were subdivided in Katastralgemeinden; surveying in the Hungarian (Transleithanian) lands started in 1850. Municipalities as administrative subdivisions with certain rights of self-governance were not established until after the 1848 revolutions.

Most of the nowadays Katastralgemeinden once had been independent communes and were incorporated on the occasion of a municipal territory reforms. They can be further divided into smaller villages and localities (Ortschaften). There were 7,847 Katastralgemeinden in Austria in 2014. For land registration, the unit identifier used in a Katastralgemeinde is "KG-Nr" (KG-Nummer, or number). [11]

The Dutch system of kadastrale gemeenten was set up around 1830. When municipalities are merged, often the cadastral communes remain as they were, so one civil municipality can consist of more than one cadastral commune; but again, a cadastral commune can never be part of more than one civil municipality.

Slovenia has been a meeting area of the Slavic, Germanic, Romance, and Uralic linguistic and cultural regions, which makes it one of the most complex meeting point of languages in Europe. The official and national language of Slovenia is Slovene, which is spoken by a large majority of the population. It is also known, in English, as Slovenian. Two minority languages, namely Hungarian and Italian, are recognised as co-official languages and accordingly protected in their residential municipalities. Other significant languages are Croatian and its variants and Serbian, spoken by most immigrants from other countries of former Yugoslavia and their descendants. Slovenia is ranked among the top European countries regarding the knowledge of foreign languages. The most often taught foreign languages are English and German, followed by Italian, French, and Spanish.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Croatia–Serbia border dispute</span>

The border between Croatia and Serbia in the area of the Danube is disputed. While Serbia holds the opinion that the thalweg of the Danube valley and the centerline of the river represents the international border between the two countries, Croatia disagrees and claims that the international border lies along the boundaries of the cadastral municipalities located along the river—departing from the course at several points along a 140-kilometre (87 mi) section. The cadastre-based boundary reflects the course of the Danube which existed in the 19th century, before anti-meandering and hydrotechnical engineering works altered its course. The area size of the territory in dispute is reported variously, up to 140 km2.
