What Stadt Schleswig does

Stadt Schleswig is the municipal government (Körperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts) of the city of Schleswig in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein, operating from its Rathaus at Rathausmarkt 1 and serving a resident population of approximately 25,000-30,000. The entity provides the full statutory scope of municipal public services: civil registry (Standesamt), residency registration, business licensing, building permits, urban planning, public infrastructure maintenance, education and childcare administration, cultural programming (including the Fjordarium sports facility and Stadtbücherei library), emergency management, and elections across 16 electoral districts. It also markets the city as "Wikingerstadt Schleswig" (Viking City) leveraging the Haithabu and Danevirke cultural heritage assets, supported by Stadtmarketing Schleswig GmbH and the Ostseefjord Schlei regional tourism organization.

The core technology platform is the municipal website www.schleswig.de, operated by NetzWerkstatt GmbH & Co. KG, which integrates the Bürgerportal citizen portal, TEVIS online appointment scheduling (KOMMUNIX), Locaboo sports facility booking, Matomo cookieless analytics, ReadSpeaker text-to-speech accessibility, DIGIAccess accessibility tooling, Wonderlink centralized link management, Govii Behördenbot government chatbot, and the Preeco-operated whistleblower system. E-government transactions include the Elektronische Wohnsitzanmeldung (EWA) electronic residency registration, an E-Invoice Portal connected to the Peppol network and the state of Schleswig-Holstein e-invoicing portal supporting XRechnung and ZUGFeRD formats, and the OLIWA (Wahlschein.de) electronic ballot application system.

Revenue is not commercial but statutory: municipal taxes (Grundsteuer/property tax, Gewerbesteuer/business tax, Übernachtungssteuer/overnight tax, Hundesteuer/dog tax), administrative fees governed by Verwaltungskostenrecht, and service charges for childcare, waste management, water supply, and parking. Leadership is led by Bürgermeister Stephan Dose (also Gemeindewahlleiter) and Data Protection Officer Alexander Schäfer. The entity operates only within Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.
