neighboring municipality
A municipality or town that is geographically directly adjacent to another one.

The new swimming pool is being financed jointly with the neighboring municipality.
The word is made up of 'Nachbar' (neighbor) and 'Gemeinde' (municipality). So the meaning is literally 'a municipality that is a neighbor'. The article 'die' comes from the final word of the compound, 'die Gemeinde' (the municipality).

The first part 'Nachbar-' (neighboring) is very productive and can be combined with many other nouns to describe something adjacent. Examples include 'das Nachbarland' (the neighboring country), 'die Nachbarstadt' (the neighboring town), or 'das Nachbarhaus' (the neighboring house).

'Nachbargemeinde' (neighboring municipality) is often used in an administrative or political context. It often concerns topics such as cooperation, joint projects, or finances between two municipalities.
