Stadt Schriesheim

What Stadt Schriesheim does

Stadt Schriesheim is a German municipality (Gemeinde) under public law, located in the Rhein-Neckar-Kreis district of Baden-Württemberg, with 15,309 residents across the main town and its districts of Altenbach and Ursenbach. First documented in 764 AD, the city provides statutory local public services including citizen registration, building permits, childcare, schools, senior care, waste management, water/wastewater supply, energy supply, and public recreation (forest swimming pool, minigolf park, pumptrack, Naturfreundehäuser). Revenue is sourced from property tax (Grundsteuer), trade tax (Gewerbesteuer), utility fees via the municipal Wasserversorgungs- und Entsorgungsgesellschaft mbH, energy supply charges through EnBW and MVV Energie AG, administrative fees, and recreational facility charges.

The municipality's core digital product is the schriesheim.de citizen services portal, which integrates multiple service modules: the Virtuelles Rathaus video consultation platform (powered by Komm.ONE AöR), online appointment booking (tempus software GmbH), the Netzmonitor energy monitoring dashboard (Netze BW), the Mängelmelder issue reporting tool, and accessible features including Voice Reader Web text-to-speech (Linguatec GmbH). Additional channels include Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter/X, an email newsletter, and the Mitteilungsblatt print bulletin. Operations are headquartered at the Rathaus on Friedrichstraße 28-30, with district-level Verwaltungsstellen providing decentralized service delivery. Current mayor Christoph Oeldorf leads the administration.

Strategically, Stadt Schriesheim is positioning itself around the energy transition, most notably through the Weißer Stein wind power project developed jointly with neighboring Gemeinde Dossenheim and project developer PIONEXT Service GmbH & Co. KG. The November 9, 2025 Bürgerentscheid (54.68% in favor on 56.77% turnout) provided democratic legitimacy for wind turbines on municipal forest land, and a Projektbeirat advisory board was established in February 2026 to oversee the project. Additional strategic initiatives include Glasfaserausbau (fiber rollout), Fairtrade-Stadt certification, and active civic engagement programs via the Jugendgemeinderat and Grünpatenschaften. The municipality is governed as a public-sector entity with no investors, funding rounds, or commercial ownership structure.
