Usage Notes

  • Liechtenstein is divided into 11 municipalities (Gemeinden)
  • All codes follow the format 'LI-' followed by a two-digit number (01-11)
  • Vaduz (LI-11) is the capital and seat of national government
  • The municipalities are the smallest administrative units in Liechtenstein
  • German is the official language, and municipality names are the same in both German and English

Administrative Structure

  • Each municipality (Gemeinde) is a self-governing entity
  • Municipalities have their own elected councils and mayors
  • Vaduz, while the capital, is not the largest municipality (Schaan is)
  • The municipalities vary significantly in size and population
  • All municipalities are part of the unified legal and administrative system of the principality

Data Usage

  • When specifying locations in Liechtenstein in your API requests, please use these exact codes
  • Municipality codes are sequential from LI-01 to LI-11
  • The codes are standardized and used consistently across all administrative purposes
  • No subdivisions exist below the municipality level for addressing purposes

Note: Liechtenstein's small size means that municipal divisions are sufficient for most addressing needs, without requiring further subdivision.
