Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald

What Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald does

Landkreis Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald is a public district administration (Körperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts) in the Freiburg region of Baden-Württemberg, Germany, governed by Landrat Dr. Christian Ante. Operating since 1973, the district serves approximately 265,000 residents across 50 municipalities within a 1,341.63 km² area, delivering public administration, child day care, family support, education coordination, economic development, infrastructure, environmental protection, and tourism services. The organization runs its main Landratsamt in Freiburg im Breisgau and additional offices including the Jugendamt (Youth Office) at Berliner Allee 3 for child day care and family services. Headcount sits in the 1,001–5,000 range, reflecting the scale of municipal administration responsibilities under its remit.

The district delivers services through a combination of physical offices (appointments required for many services), an online citizen services portal, and dedicated functional departments covering Kindertagesbetreuung, Fachstelle Kindertagespflege, economic development, public transportation, waste management, and a Klimaagentur. Digital channels include the official website breisgau-hochschwarzwald.de as the primary information platform, a Jaimo Stage-powered social media aggregator, Matomo-based web analytics, and an economy-focused email newsletter. The website prominently features a KI-Assistent chatbot for citizen inquiries, and the organization is GDPR/DSGVO compliant with formal data-protection governance under a dedicated Datenschutzbeauftragter.

As a public government entity under the supervisory authority of Regierungspräsidium Freiburg, the district is funded through public taxation rather than commercial revenue generation. Most services are provided free of direct charge; specific fees apply for services such as Kindertagesbetreuung, where charges are income-dependent and waived for families receiving social benefits (SGB II, SGB XII, AsylbLG, Wohngeld, or Kinderzuschlag). Primary customer segments include families with children (child care, family counseling, financial support), local businesses and employers (economic development, broadband expansion, workforce support), and general district residents (administrative services, transportation, environmental protection, tourism). The district maintains strategic cross-border cooperation with France through INFOBEST Vogelgrun/Breisach at the Art'Rhena forum, cooperates with Naturpark Südschwarzwald e.V. on habitat conservation (including protection of the Auerhuhn/Capercaillie), and partners with Polizeidirektion Freiburg on the Festkultur responsible-festival-culture initiative.
