Gemeinde Nohfelden

What Gemeinde Nohfelden does

Gemeinde Nohfelden is a German municipality (Kommune) under public law, located in the district of St. Wendel in the state of Saarland. It administers 13 districts (Ortsteile) including Nohfelden, Wolfersweiler, Walhausen, Bosen-Eckelhausen, Eiweiler, Eisen, Gonnesweiler, Mosberg-Richweiler, Neunkirchen/Nahe, Selbach, Sötern, Türkismühle, and others — with settlements historically documented since 1156 and significant consolidation events in 1974. The municipality is positioned as a 'Nationalparkgemeinde' within the Naturpark Saar-Hunsrück, with the Bostalsee lake serving as a regional tourism anchor. It is governed by an elected Bürgermeister (Andreas Veit) and Erster Beigeordneter (Michael Dietz), with a Gemeinderat, and operates under the administrative oversight of Landkreis St. Wendel and the state of Saarland.

The core technology footprint is a municipal website (nohfelden.de) that integrates with the state's online citizen services portal (Serviceportal Saarland) and the Bundesland-wide Bürgerdienste Online platform, enabling digital submission of administrative requests. The municipality delivers services through an omnichannel mix: a physical town hall (Rathaus) at An der Burg, telephone, email, webforms, and physical touchpoints such as the Bostalsee tourist information office. Communication channels include the website, Facebook, and a weekly official municipal bulletin (Amtsblatt). Headcount is reported as 9 administrative staff, with no disclosed workforce or budget figures.

The municipality's revenue model is structurally non-commercial: it is funded by municipal taxes (Grundsteuer, Gewerbesteuer) collected from residents and local businesses, administrative and service fees (kindergarten, waste management, facility usage), and government/EU co-financing — primarily through the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (ELER) for rural infrastructure, village development, and sustainability projects. Pricing follows German fee schedules (Gebührensatzungen) and is not commercially disclosed. Customer segments are residents and citizens (primary), tourists and visitors to the Bostalsee region, and local businesses paying trade tax.
