Verbandsgemeinde Diez

What Verbandsgemeinde Diez does

Verbandsgemeinde Diez is a statutory municipal administrative community (Verbandsgemeinde) under German public law, located in the Rhein-Lahn-Kreis district of Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The entity delivers public administration services — including civil registry, building permits, citizen services, social affairs, and local governance coordination — to the residents and member municipalities of its jurisdiction, with a workforce of 38 employees operating from a primary administrative headquarters in Diez and a branch Bürgerbüro in Holzappel. Its core digital product surface consists of e-government services built on a website-based platform (HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript) featuring an online appointment booking system (integrated via etermin.net), a Ratsinfosystem council transparency portal, a Virtuelle Poststelle (VPS) for secure electronic communication with qualified electronic signatures, and a Mängelmelder citizen deficiency reporter; the platform is BITV accessibility-compliant and DSGVO/GDPR-compliant with site-wide SSL/TLS encryption.

The entity operates no commercial revenue model; its activities are funded through municipal tax allocations, administrative fees, and governmental transfers. Beyond core administration, VG Diez runs an economic development function including the Technologiepark Diez (with 45,000 m² of available industrial land), company settlement support, and the Bildungspark Diez educational campus hosting specialized vocational institutions. As part of the LAG Lahn-Taunus consortium, VG Diez co-administers €3.1 million in EU LEADER regional development funding for 2023-2027, supporting citizen projects, micro-businesses, regional budgets, and four action fields spanning environment/climate, economy/education, culture/society, and village/town attractiveness. Partnerships with Wirtschaftsförderungsgesellschaft Limburg-Weilburg-Diez, WFG Rhein-Lahn, ISB Rheinland-Pfalz, KfW Mittelstandsbank, and IHK/HWK Starterzentren channel SME financing, startup advisory, and business succession services through the municipality.
