Stadt Kamenz

What Stadt Kamenz does

Stadt Kamenz (officially Große Kreisstadt Kamenz) is a public municipality and Große Kreisstadt (large district town) in Landkreis Bautzen, Saxony, Germany, founded in 1225 and currently administered by Oberbürgermeister Michael Preuß (in office since 1 December 2025). It provides statutory municipal services — civil registry, residents' registration, building permits, public safety coordination, education, social services, and waste management — to approximately 17,000 residents across 19 districts and villages, alongside tourism and cultural programming tied to its identity as the 'Lessingstadt' (birthplace of Enlightenment writer G.E. Lessing).

Its service platform combines a physical town hall (Rathaus at Markt 1, 01917 Kamenz) with an e-government portal offering an appointment booking portal (Terminbuchungsportal), a defect reporting system (Mängelmeldung), online applications, an event calendar, a tourism information portal with online ticket sales, a city voucher (Stadtgutschein), a local business directory (Gewerbedatenbank), a public library, and an indoor swimming pool. The underlying technology stack is a standard municipal CMS with multi-modal accessibility features, open-source Matomo web analytics (anonymized, locally processed), Google Maps integration, and outsourced hosting/programming by Heitech Service GmbH. The city maintains BITV 2.0 and BfWebG accessibility compliance efforts and is GDPR-compliant with an appointed data protection officer.

Revenue comes from municipal taxes (Grundsteuer, Gewerbesteuer), EU and state development grants (EFRE, ESF, LEADER), tourism fees, and intergovernmental transfers. The city operates through several municipal subsidiaries and shared-service entities including Stadtverwaltung Kamenz, Kamenz Immobilien GmbH (housing), ewag kamenz (utilities), Zweckverband Lessingbad Kamenz (swimming pool), and partners with Malteser Wohnen & Pflege gGmbH for elderly care. Distribution occurs through direct in-person services, the online self-service portal, the tourist information office, and regional media partnerships (e.g., LAUSITZWELLE).
