The community also has 5 traditional rural land units, known in German as Gemarkungen, named Hartlanden, Höfen, Mühlendorf, Stegaurach and Birkacher Wald, four of which (all but the last, which is a woodland) have the same names as four of the constituent communities (it is traditional for a Gemarkung to be named after a town or village lying nearby).
