Subdivisions of the canton of Bern

On 1 January 2010, the 26 districts (German: Amtsbezirke, French: districts) of the Canton of Bern were combined into 10 new precincts (German: Verwaltungskreise, French: arrondissement administratif).

The existence of the 26 districts remains through the laws and Constitution of the Canton of Berne (Art.3 al.2 Cst) and coexists with the new 10 precincts (German: Verwaltungskreise, French: arrondissement administratif).

Although the original districts no longer serve any purpose.

As of 2022[update] there were 338 municipalities of the canton of Bern.

The canton of Bern is also subdivided into 26 districts (German: Amtsbezirke; French: districts), which have no more administrative or political significance since the introduction of the new larger administrative subdivisions listed above.
