One issue with REPLACE will be where city names contain the district name  You can use something like   SELECT SUBSTRING O Ort  LEN C CityName    2  8000  FROM   dbo tblOrtsteileGeo O        JOIN dbo Cities C          ON C foo   O foo WHERE  O GKZ    06440004

You can use Replace function as   REPLACE   Your String with cityname here    cityname    xyz   --Results  Your String with xyz here    If you apply this to a table column where stringColumnName  cityName both are columns of YourTable  SELECT REPLACE stringColumnName  cityName      FROM YourTable   Or if you want to remove  cityName  string from out put of a column then  SELECT REPLACE stringColumnName   cityName       FROM yourTable   EDIT  Since you have given more details now  REPLACE function is not the best method to sort your problem  Following is another way of doing it  Also  MartinSmith has given a good answer  Now you have the choice to select again    SELECT RIGHT  O Ort  LEN O Ort  - LEN C CityName -1  As WithoutCityName FROM   tblOrtsteileGeo O        JOIN dbo Cities C          ON C foo   O foo WHERE  O GKZ    06440004
