Gemeinde Dossenheim

What Gemeinde Dossenheim does

Gemeinde Dossenheim is a municipal government entity (Gemeinde) located in the Rhein-Neckar-Kreis district of Baden-Württemberg, Germany, within the Bergstraße region and Metropolregion Rhein-Neckar. It delivers statutory administrative services to local residents and businesses, including civil registry functions (births, marriages, deaths), building and planning permits, residency and business registration, waste and water management, senior care (operating Haus Stephanus and Hanna und Simeon Heim), youth services, education support, and public safety via the Freiwillige Feuerwehr. The municipality is led by Bürgermeister David Faulhaber and governed by the municipal council (Gemeinderat).

The municipality's digital service ecosystem is built on a TYPO3 CMS-based website and consists of the main portal (dossenheim.de), the dedicated Bürgerserviceportal for 24/7 administrative self-service with online processes, forms, service accounts, and AusweisApp electronic ID integration, plus the Bürger-App mobile application on iOS and Android. Supporting modules include a Mängelmelder (defect reporter), an event calendar (Veranstaltungskalender), and an online appointment booking system. Third-party integrations include the state-level Service-BW platform, Netze BW's NETZMonitor for energy grid data, KRZ for session services, and BITE GmbH for recruiting, with ISO 27001-certified data processing.

Revenue is sourced from local taxes (Grundsteuer, Gewerbesteuer), state and federal fiscal transfers, and administrative fees for municipal services — a non-commercial public-sector funding model. The entity holds the 'audit beruf und familie' family-friendly employer certification and Fairtrade Town designation, reflecting ESG-oriented municipal governance. Operating scope is strictly bounded by municipal geography, with no export of services outside Dossenheim.
