Editing Solingen (section)

===City administration===
Solingen currently consists of five Stadtbezirke, or [[Stadtbezirk|borough]]s. Each borough has a municipal council of either 13 or 15 representatives (''Bezirksvertreter'') elected every five years by the borough's population. The municipal councils are responsible for many of the boroughs' important administrative affairs.

The five city boroughs:
* [[Gräfrath]]
* Wald (Solingen)
* (Solingen-)Mitte
* Ohligs/Aufderhöhe/Merscheid
* Höhscheid/Burg

Ohligs/Aufderhöhe/Merscheid and Höhscheid/Burg are divided into sections ("Stadtteile") that were once separate towns and are still statistical and planning units but are no longer self-governing.

The city further comprises many neighborhoods with their own names, although they often lack precise borders:
