Core offering

Gemeinde Grefrath is a German municipality that delivers statutory public administration services to its residents and local businesses, including civil registry, building permits, waste management, and citizen information. It also operates public recreation infrastructure (sports halls, ice sport and nature center) and provides community services such as childcare (Kita) and off-school care (OGS).

Product overview

Gemeinde Grefrath operates a comprehensive digital municipal services platform alongside physical sports, leisure, and cultural infrastructure. The digital offering (Digitales Rathaus) consists of interconnected modules for citizen services: appointment booking (Terminvergabe), digital forms (Kontaktformular, Formulare), secure electronic communication (Virtuelle Poststelle), childcare placement (KITA-Online), and public transparency (Ratsinformationssystem). The physical portfolio includes the Niederrheinisches Freilichtmuseum (cultural attraction), Grefrather EisSport & EventPark and aquatic centers (sports facilities), Schwingbodenpark (leisure park), and various sports venues.
