Verbandsgemeinde Hunsrück-Mittelrhein

What Verbandsgemeinde Hunsrück-Mittelrhein does

Verbandsgemeinde Hunsrück-Mittelrhein is a German municipal administrative district (Verbandsgemeinde) constituted as a public law corporation (Körperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts) under the municipal law of Rheinland-Pfalz. It serves approximately 25,000+ residents across 28 member municipalities in the Rhein-Hunsrück-Kreis district, with administrative seats in Emmelshausen and Oberwesel. The entity delivers consolidated local government services including civil registry, building permits, elections administration, business registration, and economic development coordination. Physical infrastructure under its operation includes approximately 140 municipal properties, two public swimming facilities (Panoramabad Emmelshausen indoor pool and Rheingoldbad Sankt Goar-Werlau outdoor pool), municipal kindergartens, and a wastewater treatment plant at Oberes Baybachtal.

The technology stack comprises standard municipal e-government infrastructure: an online services portal (hunsrueckmittelrhein.de), Terminland appointment booking system, TeamViewer remote support, ZRE e-invoicing integration, and a digital Energiecontrolling system monitoring heat, electricity, and water consumption across all municipal properties. Distribution occurs through two physical Bürgerbüro (citizen service offices), an online portal, and direct-operated public facilities. Revenue mechanics are public-sector: municipal taxes and fees, administrative service charges, and intergovernmental transfer payments including KIPKI funding (EUR 44 per capita), federal BMUV climate protection grants, and EU LEADER program allocations.

Strategic priorities center on climate action, with the Verbandsgemeinderat having committed in June 2024 to climate neutrality by 2040. As of 2024 data, renewable energy sources produce 284% of the municipality's own electricity needs, CO2 emissions have been reduced 19% since 2019 (to 227,000 t total, or 9.5 t per capita), and 15% of heat sector energy comes from renewables. The Klimaschutzmanager coordinates implementation of the Integrated Climate Protection Concept, while municipal heat planning (Kommunale Wärmeplanung) is in progress with EMCEL and heatbeat consulting partners. On June 24, 2025, VG Hunsrück-Mittelrhein co-founded the Energiegesellschaft Rhein-Hunsrück mbH (ERH) joint venture with neighboring municipalities and district authorities to commercialize regional renewable energy supply.
