Burgomaster (alternatively spelled burgomeister, literally ''master of the town'', ''borough'' or ''master of the fortress'') is the English form of various terms in or derived from Germanic languages for the chief magistrate or chairman of the executive council, usually of a sub-national level of administration such as a city or a similar entity. In some cases, Burgomaster was the title of the head of state and head of government of a sovereign (or partially or de facto sovereign) city-state, sometimes combined with other titles (as in Hamburg's First Mayor and President of the Senate). Contemporary titles are commonly translated into English as ''mayor''. == Municipal government == * Bürgermeister (literally: 'master of the citizens'), in German: in Germany, Austria, and formerly in Switzerland. In Switzerland, the title was abolished mid-19th century; various current titles for roughly equivalent offices include ''Gemeindepräsident'', ''Stadtpräsident'', ''Gemeindeamtmann'', and ''Stadtamtmann''. * * ''Oberbürgermeister'' ('Supreme Burgomaster') is the most common version for a mayor in a big city in Germany (it is not in use in Austria). The ''Ober-'' (lit. ''upper'') prefix is used in many ranking systems for the next level up including military designations. The mayors of cities, which simultaneously comprise one of Germany's 112 urban districts usually bear this title. ''Urban districts'' are comparable to independent cities in the English-speaking world. However, also the mayors of some cities, which do not comprise an urban district, but often used to comprise one until the territorial reforms in the 1970s, bear the title ''Oberbürgermeister''. * Borgmester (Danish) * Borgarstjóri (Faroese) * Borgermester (Norwegian (Bokmål)) * Burgomaestre (Spanish) * Purkmistr (Czech) * Burgumaisu (Basque) * Borgomastro or Sindaco-Borgomastro (Italian): in few communes of Lombardy * Burgemeester in Dutch: Belgium a party-political post, though formally nominated by the regional government and answerable to it, the federal state and even the province. Mayor and president of the municipal council. In the Netherlands nominated by the municipal council but appointed by the crown. In theory above the parties, in practice a high profile party-political post. * Bourgmestre (French) in Belgium, Luxembourg and the Democratic Republic of the Congo * Burmistras (Lithuanian), derived from German. * Buergermeeschter (Luxembourgish) * Polgármester (Hungarian), derived from German. * Burmistrz (Polish), a mayoral title, derived from German. The German form ''Oberbürgermeister'' ('Supreme Burgomaster') is often translated as ''Nadburmistrz''. The German-derived terminology reflects the involvement of German settlers in the early history of many Polish towns. * Borgmästare, ''kommunalborgmästare'' (Swedish); the title is not used in Sweden in present times, the closest equivalent being ''kommunalråd'' (often translated to English as Municipal commissioner) or ''borgarråd'' (only in Stockholm City). * Boargemaster (West Frisian) * Pormestari (Finnish) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Burgomaster」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
