"Provinz" brings with it various associations in German-speaking regions. Within the historical context political-administrative categories are definitive, while the origins of this city type are related to, among others, inheritance and geomorphological factors. Currently the once strictly negative connotation is beginning to take a positive turn. Although the growing metropolitan centers dominate the contemporary scientific and societal discussions, the "Provinzst{\"a}dte" are increasingly gaining importance and attention (cf. Institut f{\"u}r Stadtplanung/ BTU 2017; Baumgart, Overhageb{\"o}ck, R{\"u}diger 2011; Bell, Jayne 2009; Hodos 2011; Schmidt-Lauber 2010). The analysis of the term's etymology and interpretation comprise the first part of the paper and the basis for the subsequent examination of this city type. Methodologically five selected case studies will be analyzed and relevant qualitative characteristics deduced. Several hypotheses will then be developed to be discussed among the session participants. Spatial-structural and -ordering, functional and life-world characteristics of the selected "Provinzst{\"a}dte" will be examined and discussed. In addition to demographic characteristics also qualitative factors such as regional location, centrality, function, historical development of increased significance, urban structure etc. will be introduced. The discourse on "Provinzst{\"a}dte" will be placed in relation to further discussions with primarily qualitative approaches that are used in part within the German context but also internationally, e.g. Global City, Regiopole, "Schwarmstadt" etc.}, language = {en} } @misc{DanielzykEberhardEltgesetal., author = {Danielzyk, Rainer and Eberhard, Lisa and Eltges, Markus and Erb, Katrin and Flamm, Lena and Huhold, Carola and Knippschild, Robert and Knorr-Siedow, Thomas and Korzer, Tanja and Leuschner, Silke and Liebmann, Heike and Maik{\"a}mper, Moritz and Matern, Antje and Nagler, Heinz and Prytula, Michael and Schmidt-Lauber, Brigitta Johanna and Stevens, James Miller and Thiel, Fabian and Weidner, Silke and Zimmermann, Lars}, title = {Provinzst{\"a}dte - Neu definiert}, editor = {Flamm, Lena and Kl{\"o}den-Billemont, Agn{\`e}s and Maik{\"a}mper, Moritz and Stevens, James Miller and Weidner, Silke}, publisher = {Brandenburgische Technische Universit{\"a}t}, address = {Cottbus ; Senftenberg}, isbn = {978-3-940471-38-3}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:co1-opus4-44230}, pages = {79}, abstract = {Der 2.
