Landschaftsverband Rheinland (LVR)
The Landschaftsverband Rheinland (LVR) – The Rhineland Regional Council – operates as a local authority for the 9.8 million people in the Rhineland, with around 22,000 employees. With 41 schools, 10 clinics, 20 museums and cultural institutions, 4 youth welfare services, the State Youth Welfare Office and a Therapeutic Pedagogical Support Group, they fulfil a role which is recognised right across the Rhineland region. The LVR is Germany’s biggest service provider for people with special needs, promoting inclusion in all areas of life. “Quality for people” is the LVR’s guiding principle.
The 13 cities and the 12 districts in the Rhineland, plus the StädteRegion Aachen, are all member organisations of the LVR. Politicians from the communities in the Rhineland shape the work of the authority in the Rhineland Regional Assembly.
