What Stadt Greven does

Stadt Greven (Stadtverwaltung Greven) is the municipal government of Greven, a town in Kreis Steinfurt, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany, serving a registered population of 39,340 primary residents as of December 31, 2025. The municipality operates under German municipal law through five specialist departments (Steuerung und Service, Bürgerdienste, Soziales Jugend Bildung, Stadtentwicklung, and Finanzen) and an administrative workforce of approximately 440 employees, including the municipal technical operations company Technische Betriebe Greven (TBG). Wholly-owned subsidiaries include GFW Greven mbH for economic development and TBG for wastewater, infrastructure, and green-space operations. As the sole statutory municipal authority within its boundaries, Stadt Greven provides essential public services spanning citizen registration, civil registry, building permits, waste management, public safety, urban planning, childcare and education oversight, cultural programming, and local economic development.

The municipality's digital service platform is built on an Enterprise Server/sitekit CMS-based municipal website (greven.net), a Progressive Web App (Greven-App) for mobile citizen access, and a GIS-based GEOnetz Greven spatial portal. Web analytics rely on Matomo with anonymized IP data stored on German servers. The distribution model combines physical service points (Rathaus at Rathausstraße 6, Bürgerbüro, library, swimming pools, sports halls, cultural venues) with omnichannel digital touchpoints including online appointment booking via SmartCJM, email newsletters covering 16+ thematic categories, online damage reporting, and an event calendar. The Stadtwerke Greven utility company operates the municipal swimming facilities under partnership.

Unlike commercial enterprises, Stadt Greven's "revenue" mechanics derive from statutory tax authorities and mandatory fee schedules rather than discretionary pricing. Revenue streams include property taxes (Grundsteuer A at 650%, Grundsteuer B residential at 582%, non-residential at 1161%), business tax (Gewerbesteuer at 455%), waste disposal fees tiered by container size from EUR 127 (40L bi-weekly) to EUR 378 (240L bi-weekly), bio-waste fees at EUR 55 per 120L container, wastewater charges of EUR 4.64 per cubic meter (raised from EUR 3.99 in 2025), rainwater charges of EUR 1.09 per square meter (raised from EUR 0.97 in 2025), and dog tax (EUR 96 for the first dog, EUR 108 for a second, EUR 120 for three or more). Geographic operations are confined to the Greven municipal area, including the Stadtkern divided by the Ems river and the districts of Reckenfeld and Gimbte.
