Landkreis Vulkaneifel

What Landkreis Vulkaneifel does

Landkreis Vulkaneifel is a public administrative district (Kreisverwaltung) in the state of Rheinland-Palatinate (Rheinland-Pfalz), Germany, headquartered at Mainzer Straße 25 in Daun with approximately 300 employees under Landrätin Julia Gieseking. The district delivers statutory government services to local residents across nine functional domains — building and environment, equality, migration and integration, inter-municipal cooperation, youth and family, district development, veterinary and agriculture, administration, and economy/tourism/culture. Specialized services include the Kreisbibliothek district library with Onleihe digital lending and inter-library loan, the Vulkanmuseum Daun volcanic geology museum, veterinary surveillance for cattle herds, school sponsorship for several gymnasiums and Realschule plus, and the Gemeindeschwesterplus community nursing program.\n\nThe district operates a multi-channel service architecture combining a physical Bürgerbüro (citizen office) at headquarters, the nationwide 115 service hotline operated jointly with three neighboring districts under Interkommunale Zusammenarbeit (IKZ), and digital self-service platforms. Key digital infrastructure includes the shared IKZ Bürgerportal serving four districts, the statewide rlpDirekt platform operated by KommWis GmbH for form systems and service catalog, an online appointment booking system at termin.vulkaneifel.de, the Ratsinformationssystem council transparency portal, and the mandatory E-Rechnung (electronic invoicing) intake compliant with the E-Rechnungsverordnung Rheinland-Pfalz. The website is built on the IONAS CMS with Chamaeleon AG hosting and is enhanced for accessibility via Eye-Able® integration conforming to BITV-RP and InklG RP requirements.\n\nAs a Körperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts (public law corporation) supervised by the Aufsichts- und Dienstleistungsdirektion (ADD) in Trier, Landkreis Vulkaneifel is funded primarily through the Kreisumlage (district tax), state and federal grants, and administrative fees. It operates a Klimaschutzmanagement climate protection program that has secured over 2.5 million Euro in subsidies and triggered approximately 40 million Euro in indirect investment, alongside targeted programs including the Balkonkraftwerke balcony-solar subsidy (150 EUR per installation, 590 approvals, ~672 kWp installed), an LED exchange program (~184,000 kWh annual savings), 10 new e-mobility charging points, and a Medizinstipendienprogramm medical scholarship requiring recipients to practice locally for at least five years.
