state institution
A public facility, authority, or institution that is supported and administered by a federal state (in Germany or Austria) and fulfills specific tasks.
Die Landesanstalt für Medien überwacht die Einhaltung der Werberichtlinien im privaten Rundfunk.
The state media authority monitors compliance with advertising guidelines in private broadcasting.
The word is made up of three parts: 'Land' (here: federal state), the linking element '-es-', and 'Anstalt' (institution). So it refers to an institution of a federal state.
Jedes Bundesland hat eigene Landesanstalten für verschiedene Aufgaben.
Each federal state has its own state institutions for various tasks.
The term is typical of the federal structure of Germany and Austria. Here, 'Land' does not refer to the country as a nation, but to a federal state such as Bavaria, Saxony, or Styria.
Die bayerische Landesanstalt für Weinbau hat ihren Sitz in Veitshöchheim.
The Bavarian state institute for viticulture is based in Veitshöchheim.
The name of a 'Landesanstalt' (state institution) often includes its exact purpose. The structure is usually 'Landesanstalt für...' (state institution for...), for example 'Landesanstalt für Umwelt' (state institution for the environment) or 'Landesanstalt für Landwirtschaft' (state institution for agriculture).
Die Landesanstalt für Entwicklung der Landwirtschaft ist für die Beratung von Bauern zuständig.
The state institution for agricultural development is responsible for advising farmers.
state office
A Landesamt is an authority of a German federal state and performs specific administrative tasks. A Landesanstalt, by contrast, is more generally a public institution supported by a federal state and may also have official or other specialized responsibilities. For a specific administrative authority, Landesamt is therefore more precise.
Die Landesanstalt erfüllt im ganzen Bundesland eine besondere öffentliche Aufgabe.
The state institution carries out a special public task throughout the federal state.
Das Landesamt bearbeitet die Anträge aus dem ganzen Bundesland.
The state office processes applications from across the entire federal state.
