What Gemeinde Tutzing does

Gemeinde Tutzing is a municipal government entity (Körperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts) in the Starnberg district of Upper Bavaria, Germany, serving approximately 10,065 residents across 11 districts covering 35.63 km². The municipality delivers statutory public services including drinking water supply via two treatment facilities, wastewater management (delegated to the Abwasserverband Starnberger See since 2014), civil registry, building permitting, tax collection, waste collection, and maintenance of a 66.8 km road network and 55.8 km sewer network. Administrative services are delivered through the Rathaus at Kirchenstraße 9, supplemented by online appointment booking via Konsentas and the SessionNet Bürgerinfoportal for council transparency. A second advisory business unit, the Geschäftsleitung under Marcus Grätz, supports operational management under Erster Bürgermeister Ludwig Horn.

The municipality's core digital product is its official website portal (tutzing.de), complemented by an email newsletter launched January 2025, multilingual content support across 30+ languages, and a portfolio of cultural sub-brands: the quinquennial Fischerhochzeit festival (revived 1975, next July 22-26, 2026), annual Brahmstage honoring Brahms' 1873 residence, biennial Kulturnacht (next October 23, 2026), and the Ortsmuseum local history museum housed in a renovated schoolhouse. Revenue is generated exclusively through statutory taxes — Gewerbesteuer (raised to 330% effective January 2025 from 300%), Grundsteuer A and B at 420%, Hundesteuer (EUR 80/dog), and Zweitwohnungssteuer — plus usage-based fees for water (EUR 2.22/cbm) and one-time infrastructure assessments. The entity operates as a public-law corporation without commercial products, subsidiaries, investor capital, or stock listing.

Active strategic priorities include a climate neutrality target for 2035, construction of 100 social housing units (70 subsidized via Verband Wohnen im Kreis Starnberg), a cultural cooperation with Buchheim Museum and Gemeinde Bernried set for Summer 2026, and the ISEK 'Ortsmitte Hauptort Tutzing' redevelopment area. Distribution relies on the Rathaus for in-person services, the digital portal for self-service, and inter-municipal channels for wastewater, economic development (gwt Starnberg GmbH), and adult education (VHS Starnberg). The municipality is certified as a Fairtrade-Gemeinde and oversees a Ramsar-designated lake environment.
