The Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) is a geocode standard for referencing the subdivisions of Germany for statistical purposes.[1] The standard is developed and regulated by the European Union.[2] The NUTS standard is instrumental in delivering the European Union's Structural Funds. The NUTS code for Germany is DE and a hierarchy of three levels is established by Eurostat. Below these is a further levels of geographic organisation – the local administrative unit (LAU). In Germany the LAUs 1 is collective municipalities, and the LAU 2 is municipalities.
