Gemeinde Waldbrunn

What Gemeinde Waldbrunn does

Gemeinde Waldbrunn is a statutory municipal corporation (Gemeinde) under Bavarian public law, located in the Unterfranken region within Landkreis Würzburg, Germany. It serves approximately 2,290 residents across a small rural jurisdiction through a town hall (Rathaus) at Hauptstraße 2, 97295 Waldbrunn, supported by approximately 7 administrative staff and led by Erster Bürgermeister Markus Haberstumpf (elected 2020). The municipality delivers the full slate of statutory local government services: residency registration, building permits, water supply and sewage (operated directly from municipal wells 2 and 3), waste management, communal childcare and holiday programs, senior services, and maintenance of public roads and community facilities including the Mehrgenerationenhaus WABE and Haselberghalle.

The municipality's revenue model is based on local taxation and usage-based fees. It levies Grundsteuer (property tax), Gewerbesteuer at a 320% Hebesatz (trade tax multiplier), and Hundesteuer (dog tax), and collects fees for water supply and wastewater disposal. Small user fees apply for ancillary services such as holiday childcare (60 EUR/week regular, 20 EUR/week Hüttendorf summer program) and a beach volleyball key deposit (20 EUR). Distribution is direct-to-citizen through the Rathaus with fixed open hours, supplemented by a digital BürgerService-Portal and Bürgerinformationssystem for online administrative procedures.

The technology footprint is non-proprietary: a standard civic website operated by SISpro-connect GmbH&Co.KG, a self-serve citizen portal, and an information system. Active strategic infrastructure programs include a municipal-wide fiber optic rollout (GlasfaserPlus, up to 1 Gbit/s) starting August 2025, digital-only passport photo intake since May 2025, an inter-municipal cooperation agreement via the Zweckverband IZM, and ongoing commercial land development (Gewerbegebiet "Am Forst II", 4.1 ha). Governance was refreshed by Kommunalwahlen 2026 (08.03.2026) and a new Hauptsatzung effective 01.05.2026.

• Gemeinde Eisingen: Small Gemeinde in Landkreis Würzburg with similar Bavarian municipal structure, rural-residential character, and comparable service portfolio (water, sewage, local administration).
