Melk District

Bezirk Melk is an administrative district in Lower Austria that stretches between the Danube River and the foothills of the Alps. The territory encompasses multiple municipalities with varied landscapes, from river plains to rolling countryside.

The district's administrative system traces back to 19th-century reforms when the district structure was introduced as a middle layer between provincial and municipal levels. This organization became the foundation for local governance and administrative services in the region.

The district offices coordinate essential government services including marriage licenses, passports, hunting permits, and public health matters for local communities.

The district functions as an administrative hub for several municipalities and handles tasks at the district level. Visitors may obtain information about regional matters or may need to access services provided at the district level.

District governors receive appointments from provincial governors and supervise civil servants who execute administrative tasks for ten to thirty municipalities.
