Neunkirchen

What Neunkirchen does

Gemeinde Neunkirchen is a small German municipality (Gemeinde) located in the district of Miltenberg in Lower Franconia (Unterfranken), Bavaria. It is a public-sector entity under German municipal law and is not a commercial enterprise. The municipality consists of three Ortsteile (villages): Neunkirchen, Richelbach, and Umpfenbach, serving approximately 5,800 inhabitants as part of the Verwaltungsgemeinschaft Erftal, an inter-municipal administrative partnership with Bürgstadt that consolidates registry, building authority, and general administrative services. The mayor (1. Bürgermeister) is Wolfgang Seitz, who also serves as Gemeinschaftsvorsitzender of the Verwaltungsgemeinschaft Erftal; the Geschäftsstellenleiter is Thomas Hofmann.

Its functional offering is the standard suite of municipal services: waste management (including a green waste collection site), water supply via the Wasserzweckverband der Erftalgruppe, volunteer fire services across all three districts, a municipal kindergarten (Kindergarten Höhenwichtel), community halls (Gemeinschaftshäuser in Neunkirchen, Richelbach, and Umpfenbach), a public barbecue area (Grillplatz), cemetery administration, and local governance through an elected Gemeinderat. Digital infrastructure includes a municipal website (neunkirchen-unterfranken.de) and a Bürgerserviceportal hosted by AKDB (Anstalt für Kommunale Datenverarbeitung Bayern) that supports online administrative transactions and payments via ePayBL/Girosolution (credit card, Giropay). Third-party integrations include Matomo (analytics), Eye-Able with Microsoft Azure AI translation (accessibility), Google Maps, and YouTube embedding.

The "revenue model" is statutory rather than commercial. Funding comes from municipal taxes (Grundsteuer A/B, Gewerbesteuer, Hundesteuer), regulated user fees (e.g., canal/sewer fees at 3.25 EUR/cbm, community hall rentals at 0–87 EUR, Grillplatz at 40 EUR), and one-time development charges such as building plot sales in the Baugebiet Lämmerheide at 115 EUR/sqm. The municipality has no funding rounds, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity; it is wholly publicly owned and operated. Customer base is effectively compulsory: all residents and businesses within the jurisdictional boundaries of the Verwaltungsgemeinschaft Erftal.

Regional players

• Gemeinde Eichenbühl: Neighboring municipality in Miltenberg district also covered by the GlasfaserPlus fiber-to-the-home rollout alongside Neunkirchen. Operates under similar Bavarian municipal law with comparable rural characteristics and service portfolio.

Others

• Verwaltungsgemeinschaft Erftal: The shared inter-municipal administrative body providing unified services to both Bürgstadt and Neunkirchen. While not a peer in the traditional sense, it represents the governance/administrative architecture model that defines how Neunkirchen delivers services at scale. Source: contact details list Thomas Hofmann at [email protected].
• AKDB (Anstalt für Kommunale Datenverarbeitung in Bayern): Bavarian state data processing institution providing the Bürgerserviceportal (citizen service portal) infrastructure used by Neunkirchen and many other Bavarian municipalities. An ecosystem enabler rather than a peer, but materially shapes the municipality's digital service capabilities.
• Wasserzweckverband der Erftalgruppe: Water supply association serving Neunkirchen, Richelbach, Umpfenbach and surrounding communities (Guggenberg, Heppdiel, Pfohlbach, etc.) through the Erftalgruppe system. A core operational partner providing critical utility infrastructure rather than a comparable peer municipality.

Direct peers

• Gemeinde Bürgstadt: Sister municipality sharing the Verwaltungsgemeinschaft Erftal administrative partnership with Neunkirchen. Both municipalities are consolidated under the same VG Erftal administration, serve a combined ~5,800 inhabitants, and have joint involvement in the GlasfaserPlus fiber project. Most directly comparable peer.
