What Landkreis Märkisch-Oderland does

Landkreis Märkisch-Oderland is a public-law county corporation (Kreiskörperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts) in the German state of Brandenburg, headquartered in Seelow with a second office complex in Strausberg. It delivers legally mandated administrative services to the residents, businesses, and institutions of its district, including vehicle registration and driver's licensing, building permits, cadastral surveying, public health and veterinary functions (Gesundheitsamt), waste management, migration and asylum administration, and child/youth welfare services. Leadership is provided by Landrat Gernot Schmidt, with five Fachbereiche (FD I–V) and several Stabsstellen including digitalization (Stab Digitales) and the public health office.

The entity operates a digital service layer built on Neos CMS, managed by Lüneburger Marktplatz GmbH, comprising a Serviceportal (service.lkmol.de), online appointment booking via cleverq.de, and a Geoportal for spatial-data access. Communication is secured via EGVP and S/MIME, accessibility is partially WCAG 2.1 AA compliant, and ISO 9001:2008 quality management is referenced. Operational coordination on critical infrastructure is handled through partnerships with water utilities WAMS and WvMS and through its wholly-owned subsidiary Entsorgungsbetrieb Märkisch-Oderland (EMO), which operates waste-disposal services for the district.

Revenue is generated through Kreisförmige Abgaben und Steuern — county taxes, fees, and administrative charges — supplemented by state-level transfers per Brandenburg law. The entity explicitly does not publicly disclose revenue figures. Recent operational activity includes a July 2026 boil-water order (Abkochgebot) for Buckow after coliform bacteria detection, the launch of cross-district cooperation with Bezirk Marzahn-Hellersdorf on the Metropolregion Ost Ausbildungspreis 2026, and ongoing digital-accessibility compliance work.
