Core offering

Landkreis Calw is a statutory district government (Landratsamt) in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, providing public administration services to approximately 160,000 residents. Its core offerings include civil registry, vehicle registration, driver's licensing, social welfare coordination, environmental protection, waste management, healthcare through district hospitals (Kreiskliniken Calw und Nagold), employment services via Jobcenter, economic development, and digital citizen services through its online portal (Online-Dienste).

Product overview

Landkreis Calw operates a citizen-facing digital government portal delivering administrative services to residents. The portfolio is organized around a main website (www.kreis-calw.de) supplemented by specialized sub-portals and modules: the Online-Dienste (online services) portal for vehicle registration and administrative transactions; the Bürger Geoportal for geographic information; the Soziale Angebotskarte for locating social services; the Ehrenamtskarte BW program for volunteer recognition; the Karos Mobility ridesharing platform for mobility; and the Ideen- und Beschwerdemanagement system for citizen feedback. Supporting infrastructure includes the Kontaktformular (contact form), Terminvereinbarungen (appointment booking), and digitalization initiatives under Dezernat 1, alongside fiber broadband expansion under Highspeed Glasfaser. The platform is primarily informational and administrative rather than a commercial software product.
