Stadt Herbolzheim

What Stadt Herbolzheim does

Stadt Herbolzheim is a municipal government entity (Kommune) located in the district of Emmendingen in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The city serves as the administrative center for itself and five districts — Herbolzheim (main town), Wagenstadt, Bleichheim, Broggingen, and Tutschfelden — and is led by Mayor Thomas Gedemer, whose term ends in 2025 ahead of a scheduled Bürgermeisterwahl on September 28, 2025. The municipality employs approximately 27 staff and is funded by public taxes, fees, and transfers from Land Baden-Württemberg rather than commercial revenue.

The entity delivers citizen-facing services through a network of five physical Bürgerbüros across the central city and its districts, supplemented by a Tourismusbüro and an Ortsverwaltung in Wagenstadt and Bleichheim. The core digital offering is built on a TYPO3 CMS platform and consists of the Digitales Rathaus (Digital Town Hall) online service portal — providing online appointment booking, digital forms, the Gewerbe5-Online business registration service, and a BürgerGIS geographic information system — together with a Stadt-App available on iOS and Android. Third-party integrations include Google Maps, Google Translate, YouTube, ReadSpeaker accessibility tooling, the Netze BW NETZMonitor energy data component, and komm.one election results hosting. The municipality also operates a climate protection subsidy program (Förderprogramm Klimaschutz) supporting rooftop greening, e-cargo bikes, heat pumps, and balcony solar systems, alongside tourism initiatives including HEIMATKULT local products and the KONUS guest card scheme.

Customer segments are the local resident population, tourists and visitors, and a smaller base of local businesses requiring permits and registration. Strategic partnerships include a 50-year twin-town relationship with Sisteron (France), regional cooperation with Weinland Breisgau and Naturpark Südschwarzwald, and accessibility coordination with EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg. The city's competitive position rests on its statutory monopoly over local public services and its strategic location in the Germany-France-Switzerland tri-border region with direct A5 motorway and Rhine Valley rail access.
