The duties of the City Council are regulated in the Bavarian municipal code and in the city's rules of procedure.

The members of the City Council carry out their activities freely, based solely on their convictions in the public interest, and are not bound by any orders.

The City Council determines the committees to be formed, their composition and their areas of responsibility. Resolutions are passed in meetings. Meetings are open to the public, unless considerations of the public good or the justified claims of individuals prevent this. Everyone has access to the public meetings of the City Council and its committees. An overview of meeting dates and topics can be found in the council information system.

Honorary members of the City Council can submit motions for consideration by the City Council or its committees.
