What Stadt Sankt Augustin does

Stadt Sankt Augustin is a municipal government entity (Körperschaft öffentlichen Rechts) located in the Rhein-Sieg-Kreis district of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, founded in 1969 and granted city rights on September 6, 1977. It serves approximately 58,000 residents across eight city districts, making it the second-largest municipality in the district. The city is led by Mayor Dr. Max Leitterstorf and operates with approximately 800 employees distributed across administrative, educational, cultural, and social service departments. Its wholly-owned subsidiary Wirtschaftsförderungsgesellschaft Sankt Augustin mbH (WFG) handles economic development activities, including business location marketing and the landmark Bechtle GmbH settlement at the Klosterhoefe site in 2025.

The core digital platform consists of an e-government service portal (Serviceportal), online appointment booking (Terminbuchung), a family portal (Familienportal), an events overview, a geoportal, and electronic communication channels including qualified electronic signatures (QES), De-Mail, and X-Rechnung electronic invoicing. A third-party AI-powered accessibility widget (UserWay) supports disabled users. Cultural and recreational services include a music school, library, archive, sports facilities, and an outdoor swimming pool with online ticketing via Vivenu. The city also operates an apprenticeship fair (#JOBGOALS) with 30+ local employers and 500-600 students annually.

Revenue is generated through a mix of municipal taxes (property tax, trade tax), administrative fees set by state fee regulations, and transactional fees for public services (swimming pool admissions, cultural events, facility rentals), supplemented by state and federal funding allocations. The city follows a 'WissensStadt PLUS' (Knowledge City PLUS) strategic positioning emphasizing science, education, and lifelong learning. Customer segments include citizens across all life stages (families, youth, seniors), local businesses, and institutional partners.
