Stadt Reinheim

What Stadt Reinheim does

Stadt Reinheim is a municipal government entity (Gemeinde) in the Darmstadt-Dieburg district of Hessen, Germany, providing statutory local public services to a population of 17,243 residents distributed across five districts: Reinheim, Ueberau, Spachbrücken, Georgenhausen, and Zeilhard, over a total area of 27.7 km². Core functions include civil registry, building permits, social welfare, childcare (9 Kita and Krippe facilities), senior services, waste and environmental management, and maintenance of public infrastructure including roads, parks, and a municipal swimming pool. The wholly owned subsidiary Stadtwerke Reinheim operates the municipal water supply from six groundwater wells in the Seewiesen area, currently undergoing a major softening plant renewal.

The city operates a digital service layer comprising the municipal website (www.reinheim.de), CleverQ-based appointment booking, the BMApp Bürger GIS planning portal, an official WhatsApp channel, and the ENTEGA-built Energiewendemonitor (real-time renewable energy data, 15-minute refresh). Beyond administrative services, Reinheim manages distinctive environmental assets: a 75 ha nature reserve (Reinheimer Teich, hosting the only known West German population of the European pond turtle), 77.1 ha of FSC-certified municipal forest, and a €1.75M Bürgersolarpark community solar project supplying ~15% of households. Cultural and community programming is delivered via the Stadtbücherei (~21,500 media items), the Reinheimer Heimatmuseum, and recurring events including Satirewoche, Lebendiger Adventskalender, and Tag der Vereine.

Revenue is generated through municipal taxation (Gewerbesteuer 385 points, Grundsteuer A 480, Grundsteuer B 430), consumption-based water (€2.61/m³) and wastewater (€2.22/m³) fees, residential land sales in the Nordwest III development area (€500/m²), and recurring rentals of allotment gardens, bike boxes, and P+R parking spaces. The current mayor is Manuel Feick, supported by Erster Stadtrat Rainer Lauterbacher. Key external partnerships include ENTEGA (energy, e-carsharing, solar operations), NABU/HGON (nature reserve management), Holzkontor (forestry marketing), Caritas and Horizont (social services), and HESSEN-FORST (forest management). Customer concentration is structurally High given the closed geographic jurisdiction, with growth dependent on attracting new residents and expanding the local commercial tax base.
