[[File:Düsseldorf Subdivisions.svg|300px|thumb|left]]
Since 1975, Düsseldorf is divided into ten administrative boroughs. Each borough (''[[Stadtbezirk]]'') has its own elected borough council (Bezirksvertretung) and its own borough mayor (Bezirksvorsteher). The borough councils are advisory only. Each borough is further subdivided into quarters (''[[Stadtteil]]e''). There are 50 quarters in Düsseldorf.<ref>[https://www.duesseldorf.de/bv.html Stadtbezirke und Stadtteile] {{Webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181010011305/https://www.duesseldorf.de/bv.html |date=10 October 2018 }}, Landeshauptstadt Düsseldorf.
