Die Bundesrepublik Deutschland hat einen dreistufigen Verwaltungsaufbau. Wie heißt die unterste politische Stufe?

Why this is the correct answer

Germany's lowest tier of government consists of municipalities, known in German as Gemeinden. These include cities, towns, and rural parishes, and they handle day-to-day services such as local roads, waste collection, kindergartens, and building permits. Municipal governments are directly elected by local residents and enjoy constitutionally protected rights of self-governance.
