What Stadt Dreieich does

Stadt Dreieich is a German municipality (Stadt) in the district of Offenbach, Hesse, established in 1977 and serving a population that includes residents from 130 countries across five districts (Dreieichenhain, Götzenhain, Offenthal, Sprendlingen, Buchschlag). It functions as a comprehensive local government provider delivering administrative services, civil registry, building permits, public utilities, housing, waste management, public transport, education, culture, and economic development support. Governance is exercised through a directly elected Bürgermeister (Martin Burlon), an Erster Stadtrat (Holger Dechert), and a 45-member Stadtverordnetenversammlung, with operations executed via a network of wholly-owned municipal subsidiaries including Stadtwerke Dreieich GmbH (utilities), DreieichBau AöR (housing), and DLB AöR (waste and services).

The core technology platform is an integrated digital citizen services ecosystem rather than a single product. It comprises an online appointment booking system (tevis.ekom21.de for the Bürgerbüro), webKITA for childcare placement, an ID/passport status tracker (onlineantrag.ekom21.de), a digital defect reporter ('Sag's uns' Mängelmelder), and participatory tools such as the Klimaanpassung Ideenkarte (climate adaptation idea map collecting 108 citizen proposals) and the KIV Beteiligungsplattform for the diversity and integration strategy. The technology stack relies on third-party public-sector IT providers — ekom21, Qtermin, and Matomo analytics — integrated through a centralized dreieich.de web presence rather than proprietary infrastructure.

The revenue model is that of a typical German municipality: compulsory tax streams (Grundsteuer and Gewerbesteuer), utility and service fees billed through Stadtwerke and DLB, administrative fees under the Verwaltungskostensatzung, and parking revenue. There is no commercial pricing model in the venture sense; core citizen services are free or tax-funded, with fees only on specific regulated documents and services. Distribution operates hybrid through the Rathaus and Bürgerbüro physical offices, the 24/7 digital portal, five Stadtteilzentren, the 115 helpline, and a multi-channel communications stack including Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, RSS, press releases, and large civic events such as the annual Burgfestspiele Dreieichenhain. Customer segments are residents, local businesses and commerce, and commuters/visitors, with no commercial customer concentration risk.
