Stadt Ettenheim

What Stadt Ettenheim does

Stadt Ettenheim is a municipal government entity (Kommune) located in Ettenheim, Ortenaukreis district, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The municipality administers the main town of Ettenheim and five districts (Altdorf, Ettenheimmünster, Ettenheimweiler, Münchweier, Wallburg), serving approximately 13,000-15,000 residents with comprehensive local government services including administration, citizen services, public safety, education and childcare, social services, infrastructure management, and tourism promotion. The city is branded as 'Barockstadt Ettenheim' (Baroque City), centered on a baroque town hall completed in 1757.

The municipality operates a digital services platform built on the Komm.ONE municipal infrastructure, organized into four primary service areas: Rathaus & Service (administration, citizen services, councils, partner cities, civil protection), Bildung & Soziales (education, childcare, social services), Bauen & Gewerbe (building permits, commercial areas, climate protection), and Tourismus & Kultur (tourism, culture, events). Digital products include a citizen services portal with online forms, a comprehensive event calendar, damage reporting system, media library access, official gazette (Amtsblatt), and contact management. The platform integrates third-party services for translation (Google Translate), mapping (OpenStreetMap), and social media engagement (Facebook, Instagram). The city is also pursuing fiber optic infrastructure expansion through partnerships with Telekom and Breitband Ortenau GmbH.

Stadt Ettenheim's revenue model is non-commercial: as a German municipality, it is funded through local taxes (Grundsteuer property tax, Gewerbesteuer business tax), service fees, and state subsidies rather than equity investment or commercial pricing. The entity maintains four international partnerships: Benfeld, France (since ~1960), Avelgem, Belgium (since 1976), Castelló d'Empuries, Spain (since 2001), and Vilkhovetska, Ukraine (since November 2023, as a solidarity partnership). Key leadership includes Julia Zehnle as Head of the Main Office (Hauptamt), with the municipality currently recruiting a new Bürgermeister/in (mayor).
