Stadt Viechtach

What Stadt Viechtach does

Stadt Viechtach is a German municipality (Stadt) located in the district of Regen in Lower Bavaria, situated in the Bavarian Forest (Bayerischer Wald) tourism region. As a Körperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts under public law, it is governed by an elected Stadtrat and a First Mayor (currently Hans Greil, in office since 1 May 2026), with Hans Wühr and Christine Hagengruber serving as 2. and 3. Bürgermeister respectively. The entity operates as the local government authority for approximately 6,697 eligible voters (2026 election data), delivering citizen services — registration, permits, civil records, construction approvals, water/wastewater management, taxation — alongside tourism promotion, cultural programming, and youth engagement. Service delivery follows a hybrid model combining a physical network (Rathaus at Mönchshofstraße 31, two Tourist-Information offices, Bauhof, Kläranlage, Wasserwerk, Stadthalle, CineVIT cinema, Freibad) with a digital portal built on the newCOMer CMS and integrated with BayernPortal for online form submission.

The core digital product is the municipal website (viechtach.de), which functions as the citizen-facing front door: virtual Rathaus (forms, budgets, ordinances, planning), Ratsinformationssystem via komuna.net, Klimaschutzmanagement portal, a quarterly Clever Reach newsletter (Newsletter aus dem Viechtacher Land), and embedded Google services (Analytics, Maps, Translate, Tag Manager, YouTube) plus Facebook and Instagram channels for youth-culture outreach. Supporting products include the Mikar car-sharing service, Parkster digital parking, REGioCard regional gift card, Bauernmarkt weekly farmers market, Viechtacher Musiksommer music festival, Freibad outdoor pool, and the Jugendrat youth council (established 2016, 11 elected members aged 14–21). The business model is non-commercial: revenue is derived from compulsory municipal taxes (Steuern), statutory fees, service charges (e.g., €50 marriage ceremony fee), and intergovernmental transfers — no commercial pricing tiers are published. Notable 2026 milestones include the 65th-anniversary Freibad season, the 57th annual art exhibition, and a sculpture exhibition ("Skulpturale Perspektiven: Gegossene Formen") with 40 works by 12 artists from 6 European countries in partnership with ARA KUNST.

Core offering

Stadt Viechtach is a German municipality that provides public administrative services to residents and visitors through the Rathaus (City Hall) and a digital Virtuelles Rathaus portal. Its core offerings include citizen registration and permits, tourism information for the Bavarian Forest region, cultural programming (cinema, festivals, markets), public utilities (water supply and wastewater), youth engagement, mobility services, and climate protection management.

Product overview

Stadt Viechtach operates a municipal information portal serving as the digital front door for a city in the Bavarian Forest region. The offering is not a unified software product but rather a collection of citizen-facing digital services: the main municipal website provides access to administrative services (Virtuelles Rathaus), tourism information, cultural programming (cinema, music festival, exhibitions, markets), youth council participation, mobility solutions (car-sharing, parking, public transit), and environmental initiatives (climate protection, energy monitoring). Supporting infrastructure includes a council information system (RIS), newsletter distribution via Clever Reach, and third-party integrations for analytics, mapping, translation, social media, and accessibility. The site is built on the newCOMer CMS platform.
