Stadt Bornheim

What Stadt Bornheim does

Stadt Bornheim is a German municipal government entity (Stadtverwaltung) under North Rhine-Westphalia jurisdiction, serving approximately 50,000 residents across 14 villages (Ortschaften) located between Cologne and Bonn in the Rhein-Sieg-Kreis district. The municipality delivers core public services — including residency registration, civil registry, building permits, childcare placement, social services, fire protection, waste management, cultural programming, and economic development — through a hybrid physical-and-digital service model comprising the Bürgerbüro, Infocenter, and Standesamt alongside a digital service portal (serviceportal.stadt-bornheim.de), an online appointment booking system (termine.stadt-bornheim.de), the Kita-Navigator childcare placement platform, and the Citykey mobile app.

The city's underlying technology stack combines in-house e-government services with third-party platforms: ArcGIS and Google Maps for interactive mapping, ITK Rheinland for the Kita-Navigator, tetraeder.com gmbh for online citizen participation, Zoom for virtual meetings, and standard web infrastructure (Google Analytics, Google Fonts, YouTube, Friendly Captcha). Strategic initiatives include the Integriertes Mobilitätskonzept (Integrated Mobility Concept) adopted September 3, 2025 with a horizon through 2035, a goal of climate neutrality by 2045, e-mobility charging infrastructure expansion, and continued participation in the annual STADTRADELN cycling campaign (five consecutive award years).

As a public-sector entity, Stadt Bornheim does not operate a commercial revenue model. Funding comes from municipal taxes (Gewerbesteuer, Grundsteuer), administrative fees set by the Verwaltungskostensatzung, parental contributions for childcare (Elternbeitrag), and charges for municipal utilities managed through its wholly-owned operating subsidiary Stadtbetrieb Bornheim. The municipality employs 52 staff and pursues both offensive moves (digital service expansion, mobility infrastructure, sustainability programming) and defensive moves (Haushaltskonsolidierung ab 2025 budget consolidation).
