 Landtag - Definition 

In Germany, Austria and South Tyrol, a Landtag is a unicameral legislature for a federal land.

Not all states of Germany have a body called the Landtag: in the city state of Berlin the legislature is called Abgeordnetenhaus, and in those of Hamburg and Bremen Bürgerschaft. Until 1999, Bavaria had a bicameral legislature, with a lower house called the Landtag, and an upper house called the Senate. Similarly, the Landtag of the Austrian capital Vienna is identical to its Gemeinderat, as the city is a state and a municipality at the same time.
