Since the last administrative reform in 1975, the City of Cologne is made up of nine Stadtbezirke and 86 Stadtteile. Stadtbezirk literally translates as city district, which are further subdivided into Stadtteile. The Stadtteile of Cologne's old and new town further consist of quarters, known as "Veedel" in both Kölsch and most often, the Rhinelandic regiolect, as well.
