Verbandsgemeinde Enkenbach-Alsenborn

What Verbandsgemeinde Enkenbach-Alsenborn does

Verbandsgemeinde Enkenbach-Alsenborn is a statutory municipal administrative association (Verbandsgemeinde) under German public law, founded in 1972 and headquartered in Enkenbach-Alsenborn, Rheinland-Pfalz. It serves approximately 25,000 residents across eight member municipalities — Enkenbach-Alsenborn, Fischbach, Frankenstein, Hochspeyer, Mehlingen, Neuhemsbach, Sembach, and Waldleiningen — providing unified local administration, civil registration, tax collection, public safety, waste and water services, building permits, and economic development support. The district expanded on July 1, 2014 through the integration of the former Verbandsgemeinde Hochspeyer and is governed by Mayor Silke Brunck and an elected municipal council (Verbandsgemeindevertretung).

The entity operates a digital service platform including an OZG-compliant "Digitales Rathaus" portal, electronic invoicing via the Peppol network (XRechnung/ZUGFeRD formats with Leitweg-ID routing), and a council information system (Ratsinformationssystem). Its public website runs on the IONAS CMS with BITV 2.0 accessibility compliance and integrates Google Analytics and OpenStreetMap. Revenue is generated through municipal taxes (Grundsteuer, Gewerbesteuer, Hundesteuer, Vergnügungssteuer, Zweitwohnungssteuer), utility charges for water/wastewater/waste, administrative fees, and service-based income from municipal works companies including VG Werke, Gemeindewerke, and VEGA-net GmbH (telecommunications providing VDSL and fiber optic).

Service delivery occurs through two physical offices (Rathaus Enkenbach-Alsenborn and Verwaltungsgebäude Hochspeyer), the digital portal, a Bürgerbus door-to-door transport service, and municipal broadband infrastructure. The Verbandsgemeinde participates in the EU LEADER programme through the LAG Donnersberger und Lautrer Land and pursues the Masterplan 100% climate initiative with lighthouse projects in virtual power plants, biomass heating, and district heating optimization. It also promotes tourism within the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Pfälzerwald/Nordvogesen through 60km of hiking trails, an award-winning Mountainbikepark (BIKE SPIRIT AWARD 2026), museums, and cultural attractions including Burg Frankenstein.
