My comment:

...the self-styled "Windmill District":

The term "grosse kreisangeh�rige Stadt" refers to its "kommunalrechtlich" status in the State of North Rhine-Westfalia; as a town with a population of over 60,000, it undertakes certain communal duties which the District Authority itself has to undertake on behalf of smaller communities.
