What Amt für Soziale Dienste Bremen, Sozialzentrum Süd does

The Amt für Soziale Dienste Bremen (AfSD), Sozialzentrum Süd is a municipal social services department of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen, Germany, operating under the political authority of the Senatorin für Arbeit, Soziales, Jugend und Integration. The Sozialzentrum Süd functions as one of several district-level service delivery points within AfSD, alongside related agencies including the Amt für Versorgung und Inklusion Bremen (AVIB), Werkstätten für Menschen mit Behinderung (WfbM), and Ausbildungsgesellschaft Bremen (ABiG). The department serves Bremen residents requiring state-mandated social welfare support across the full lifecycle, including children and youth welfare under SGB VIII, elderly care and home-visit programs, disability services under SGB IX, refugee integration and migration counseling, and existential security benefits under SGB XII. Customer segments include children, youth and families; elderly citizens; people with disabilities; refugees and migrants; and citizens requiring economic assistance and housing support.

Service delivery is built on two specialized IT case-management platforms: SoPart, which covers six Fachdienst modules—Allgemeiner Sozialdienst, Wirtschaftliche Jugendhilfe, Unterhaltsvorschuss, Unterhalt und Forderung, Beistandschaft, Amtsvormundschaft, and Erziehungsberatung—and OpenPROSOZ, which covers five modules for Wirtschaftliche Hilfen, Integration und Flüchtlinge, Zentrale Wirtschaftliche Hilfen, Teilhabe, and Stationäre Leistungen. These Fachverfahren systems integrate case data across the welfare continuum and connect to the parent Senatorin's organizational and IT infrastructure (Referat 12 Organisation und IT). Distribution combines direct government service offices with an established partner network of authorized welfare organizations (Wohlfahrtsverbände) including AWO Soziale Dienste, Deutscher Caritasverband, Deutsches Rotes Kreuz, and Paritätische Gesellschaft für soziale Dienste Bremen, which deliver specialized services such as the Bremer Hausbesuche elderly home-visit program and the Beratungsnetz Migration counseling network. There are no public APIs, no commercial software offering, and no mobile applications—AfSD is exclusively a service-delivery organization.

AfSD operates as a publicly funded municipal authority and does not generate commercial revenue. All services are provided free of charge to eligible citizens, funded through Bremen municipal taxation combined with federal and state social-budget allocations. Marketing and citizen outreach occur exclusively through institutional government channels—the Bremen Senate website, the Transparency Portal, press releases via the Pressestelle, and the agency's Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. The organization is led by Senatorin Dr. Claudia Schilling, with Staatsrat Dr. Gunnar Isenberg responsible for labor policy and Staatsrätin Kirsten Kreuzer responsible for social, youth, and integration policy.
