German city with hospital demolished by one friend in local government office? (9)
I believe the answer is:
municipal
'german city' is the definition.
'municipal' can be an answer for 'city' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'german' bit.
'hospital demolished by one friend in local government office?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'un' (northern English dialect form of 'one') and 'un' is found in the answer.
'friend' could be 'pal' (pal is a kind of friend) and 'pal' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for municipal that I've seen before include "of one's town" , "Civic" , "City's" , "Run by the council" , "belonging to the city" .)
