Samtgemeinde Brome

What Samtgemeinde Brome does

Samtgemeinde Brome is a statutory municipal association (Samtgemeinde) in the district of Gifhorn, Lower Saxony, Germany, providing consolidated administrative services for eight member municipalities: Bergfeld, Flecken Brome, Ehra-Lessien, Parsau, Rüchen, Tiddische, Tülau, plus additional localities. Administratively headed by Samtgemeindebürgermeister Wieland Bartels with headquarters at Bahnhofstraße 36, 38465 Brome, it exercises exclusive statutory jurisdiction over local governance, civil registry, tax assessment, fire protection coordination, childcare administration, and infrastructure across its catchment. Citizen services are delivered through a central ServiceCenter in Brome and branch offices (Außenstellen) in Rühen and Ehra-Lessien, supplemented by telephone, online appointment booking via the tevis.itebo.de platform, and the municipal Serviceportal.

The core digital product surface comprises the Serviceportal and Bürger-Info System, online appointment booking (tevis), online application submission (Anträge online stellen), the Mitteilungsblatt municipal bulletin, and the PointID digital passport photo system installed in August 2025. Backing infrastructure is standard e-government rather than proprietary technology: the itebo tevis platform for scheduling, the Südheide Gifhorn tourism portal, the KVHS/Bildungszentrum Gifhorn adult education system, and Facebook/Instagram social channels. Tangible operating assets include the Freibad Brome (heated outdoor pool), libraries, cemeteries, and volunteer fire stations across all member communities.

The revenue model is entirely public: the Samtgemeinde raises funds through statutory local taxes (Grundsteuer A and B property tax, Gewerbesteuer business tax, Hundesteuer dog tax) and nominal administrative fees for citizen services. Strategic partnerships span the parent Landkreis Gifhorn, GIFFInet for fiber broadband deployment, the Kreisvolkshochschule Gifhorn for adult education, Verkehrsbetriebe Bachstein and Regionalverband Großraum Braunschweig for regional transport, and UNESCO Biosphärenreservat Drömling for the 'Dörfer am Drömling' village development program. The entity also maintains a twin-city relationship with La Guerche-de-Bretagne in France. Operating geography is limited to Niedersachsen, Germany.
