Landratsamt Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge

What Landratsamt Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge does

Landratsamt Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge is the district administration office (Landratsamt) of the district of Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge in the Free State of Saxony, Germany, a public-law entity (Körperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts) under the Free State of Saxony. It serves approximately 245,000 residents across 36 municipalities, providing mandatory administrative services including registrations, permits, social services, environmental protection, healthcare coordination, education administration, and infrastructure oversight. The organization is led by Landrat Michael Geisler and operates four physical office locations (Pirna headquarters, Dippoldiswalde, Freital, Sebnitz), supplemented by the Amt 24 online service portal, a Geoportal for spatial data, and appointment-booking systems for citizen services.

The office's most significant operational initiative is the federally funded broadband expansion program (Geförderter Breitbandausbau), executed in partnership with SachsenEnergie AG and its subsidiary SachsenGigaBit GmbH. The Weiße Flecken (white spots) project covers 19 of 36 municipalities, approximately 11,000 address points, 765 km of civil engineering works, and 2,850 km of fiber optic cable, with a total volume of EUR 145.6 million (EUR 87.4M federal, EUR 43.7M state). The newer Dunkelgraue Flecken program, with funding approval presented by Federal Minister Dr. Volker Wissing on 15 January 2025, covers 33 of 36 municipalities and 18,500 address points with a total volume of EUR 212 million. The office also deploys the LAYJET fiber-laying technology, a third-party innovation enabling up to ten-times-faster cable deployment with reduced environmental impact.

The entity is funded primarily through federal, state, and district government budgets, supplemented by statutory administrative fees (Gebührenordnungen). It does not operate commercial pricing; broadband connections in funded "Weisse Flecken" addresses are free to property owners. Supporting services include a regional business directory (Unternehmensatlas), an annual vocational training day (Tag der Ausbildung), a life-situation navigation guide (Lebenslagen-Check), and district council information systems (Kreistag & Satzungen). Strategic consulting partners include TÜV Rheinland Consulting GmbH, GEODV, MRK Media AG, i2kt GmbH, aconium GmbH, and Digitalagentur Sachsen.
