What Stadt Achern does

Stadt Achern is a municipal government (Stadtverwaltung) serving the city of Achern in the Ortenau district of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It administers public services across 8 city districts — Fautenbach, Gamshurst, Großweier, Mösbach, Oberachern, Önsbach, Sasbachried, and Wagshurst — for residents, local businesses, and visitors. Core functions include administration, citizen services, education, childcare, social services, senior care, cultural programs, infrastructure maintenance, economic development, and environmental protection.

Service delivery is structured around the Rathaus Illenau headquarters (Illenauer Allee 73, 77855 Achern) and supported by a digital platform portfolio: the Bürgerserviceportal for 24/7 online administrative procedures, the OpenGIS geographic information system, the 'Achern aktuell' print and digital newsletter, a Veranstaltungskalender event calendar, the Stadtbibliothek library service, and dedicated portals for childcare registration (Betreuungsangebote, Zentrale Vormerkung), appointment booking, damage reporting, and economic development (Wirtschaftsförderung). The city holds a twin-town partnership with Morez, France, and maintains accessibility and data-protection compliance on its public web properties.

Revenue is generated through municipal taxes and fees rather than commercial pricing. Operational scope extends to a portfolio of municipal and quasi-municipal subsidiaries including Stadtwerke Achern (water supply and drainage), Ortenau Klinikum Achern (hospital), and Energiewerk Ortenau (energy utility). The current Oberbürgermeister is Manuel Tabor, heading Dezernat I of the Stadtverwaltung. The entity has no parent company, no private shareholders, and no external institutional ownership.
