Stadtverwaltung Kamenz

What Stadtverwaltung Kamenz does

Stadtverwaltung Kamenz is the municipal government (Stadt Kamenz) of the city of Kamenz in Saxony, Germany, operating as a Gebietskörperschaft des Öffentlichen Rechts under Mayor Roland Dantz. Its operational focus for the purposes of this entity is the Geoportal Kamenz, an official public geospatial information and communication platform launched on July 1, 2014. The portal provides citizens and professionals with free access to municipal geographic data including building development plans (Bauleitplanung), cadastral maps, aerial imagery, property boundaries, infrastructure maps, accessibility information, leisure POIs, and EU-mandated noise mapping.

The underlying platform is built on Geoportal-Kommune software provided by Ingenieurgesellschaft für Geoinformation und Vermessung mbH, supporting OGC-compliant Web Map Service (WMS) and Web Feature Service (WFS) endpoints across multiple coordinate reference systems (EPSG:4326, EPSG:25833, EPSG:31469). It offers an interactive map application (Kartenanwendung), a thematic search function (Themensuche), multiple output formats (PNG, JPEG, PDF, SVG, KML), and a QGIS-optimized WMS variant for professional GIS integration. The portal is integrated within the Geodateninfrastruktur Sachsen (GDI Sachsen) for regional interoperability and supports HTTPS as of a 2018 update, with UI improvements completed in January 2022.

The business model is non-commercial: all geodata services are provided free of charge with no access restrictions, financed through EFRE (European Fund for Regional Development) project grants under the 'Kommunale E-Government' program. The go-to-market is direct-to-citizen via the public web portal (no registration required) plus OGC-compliant APIs for redistribution by other municipalities and GIS professionals. The entity is publicly owned, not subject to PE/VC investment, and has accumulated approximately 547,320 portal accesses since launch.
