Stadt Seesen

What Stadt Seesen does

Stadt Seesen is the municipal government (Stadtverwaltung) of Seesen, a town in the district of Goslar in Lower Saxony, Germany. As a public-law corporation under the Niedersächsisches Kommunalverfassungsgesetz (NKomVG), it delivers statutory public services to its residents, local businesses, and visitors, including residency registration, identity documents, building permits, social services, waste management, urban planning, cultural programming, and economic development. The administration is led by Mayor Erik Homann and governed by an 11-committee city council (Rat) and Verwaltungsausschuss with a EUR 150,000 decision threshold.

The municipality operates standard municipal IT infrastructure rather than proprietary technology platforms. Its digital service surface consists of the Open Rathaus online portal (openrathaus.stadtverwaltung-seesen.de), an A-Z directory cataloguing 517 administrative service offerings, a Ratsinformationssystem for council transparency, digital official gazettes (Digitale Amtsblätter), an interactive city map, a commercial property search portal, and a climate protection management module. Cultural infrastructure includes the Jacobson-Haus venue, a theater, library, and museums, with tourism support for the Steinway Trail and broader Harz region.

Revenue is generated through local taxes (Grundsteuer, Hundesteuer, Zweitwohnungssteuer), administrative and service fees (residency, permits, market stall fees, wastewater), and intergovernmental transfers from Lower Saxony and federal sources. Distribution is omnichannel: in-person at the Rathaus during limited office hours, online through the Open Rathaus portal, and through specialized departments such as Department V (Culture and Economic Development) at the Jacobson-Haus. The customer segments are citizens/residents (primary), local businesses (primary), and visitors/tourists (secondary), all served within a single domestic geography.
