Gemeinde Morbach

What Gemeinde Morbach does

Gemeinde Morbach is a unified municipality (Einheitsgemeinde) under German municipal law, located in the Hunsrück region of Rhineland-Palatinate within the Bernkastel-Wittlich district. It governs 19 municipal districts (Ortsbezirke) and provides statutory local administrative services — including residency registration, vehicle registration, building permits, and civil registry functions — alongside infrastructure management (water, wastewater, forestry via wholly-owned Gemeindewerke Morbach and Gemeindeforst Morbach) and economic development through the jointly-controlled Zweckverband Gewerbepark HuMos. The current Bürgermeister is Arianit Besiri.

The municipality operates a Digitales Rathaus (Digital Town Hall) portal and the meinOrt-App mobile application, built on WordPress with the Elementor page builder, enabling 24/7 citizen self-service for administrative procedures, appointment reservations for the Bürgerbüro and KFZ-Zulassungsstelle, and digital municipal communications. Complementary digital services include XRechnung electronic invoicing, a fault-reporting portal for street lighting, and electronic public procurement via subreport-ELVIS. Tourism is a defined operational line, supported by integration with feratel Deskline booking technology and partnerships with Hunsrück-Touristik GmbH, Rheinland-Pfalz Tourismus GmbH, the local Gewerbe- und Verkehrsverein, and Hunsrückverein; content assets include the Morbacher Rundschau official bulletin, Freizeitmagazin, Gastgeberbroschüre, Veranstaltungskalender, and the annual Morbacher Musiksommer concert series.

Funding derives from tax allocations, administrative fees (e.g., €8.00 for a Meldebescheinigung), utility revenues from municipal water and wastewater operations, and forestry income; the entity is publicly owned under state supervision with no private shareholders. The municipality holds BITV 2.0 partial compliance, WCAG 2.1 alignment, and GDPR/DSGVO-compliant data processing, with active implementation of the BFSG (Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz) effective 28 June 2025 in alignment with EU Directive 2019/882.

• Rheinland-Pfalz Tourismus GmbH: State-level tourism marketing organization and existing GTM partner; broader geographic scope across Rhineland-Palatinate but comparable in promoting the regional tourism offerings that Gemeinde Morbach's tourist infrastructure supports.
• Stadt Idar-Oberstein: Larger regional center in Rhineland-Palatinate serving as administrative hub for the Birkenfeld district; broader municipal service portfolio and digital infrastructure, but operates at significantly larger scale than Gemeinde Morbach.
