Stadt Auerbach in der Oberpfalz

What Stadt Auerbach in der Oberpfalz does

Auerbach in der Oberpfalz is a public municipality (Gebietskörperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts) in the Amberg-Sulzbach district of Bavaria, Germany, serving approximately 9,000 residents under Mayor Birgit Barth. As a statutory local-government entity, it delivers administrative services, public infrastructure, cultural facilities, and recreational amenities to citizens, local businesses, and visitors within its defined jurisdiction. Its service portfolio spans digital civic tools (Bürgerservice-Portal, Bürger-App, Mängelmelder defect reporter), physical recreational infrastructure (Freizeitbad outdoor pool, Hallenbad indoor pool, motorhome parking, tennis and sports facilities), cultural offerings (two city museums, Stadtbücherei, Stadtarchiv), and economic-development assets organized around four designated commercial/industrial zones totaling roughly 64.5 hectares, plus an additional ~160,000 m² available in the actively marketed Saaß commercial area. Tourism promotion leverages the municipality's position in the Frankenjura climbing region and its proximity to Nuremberg (50 km) via the A9 motorway.

The technology stack is conventional and third-party-dependent: OpenStreetMap and Google Maps for cartography, Cosmema GmbH for event calendar and ticketing, and WAVE-based accessibility tooling on the public website. The revenue model is non-commercial and statutorily defined, funded through Grundsteuer (property tax), Gewerbesteuer (business tax), intergovernmental transfers including Schlüsselzuweisungen, and user fees for specific services such as water and wastewater, swimming-pool entry, and motorhome parking (€5/day with utilities). Revenue figures are not disclosed on the municipal website, consistent with its status as a public administrative entity rather than a private enterprise. The entity is not privately held, has no funding rounds, and operates within the Bavarian municipal-law framework governing small-town Verwaltungen.
