What Kreisverwaltung des Westerwaldkreises does

Kreisverwaltung des Westerwaldkreises is the administrative body of the Westerwaldkreis district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. Operating as a Körperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts (public law corporation) under state supervision, it delivers statutory public services to district residents across nine Verbandsgemeinden (Bad Marienberg, Hachenburg, Höhr-Grenzhausen, Montabaur, Ransbach-Baumbach, Rennerod, Selters, Wallmerod, Westerburg, Wirges). Service scope includes civil registration, driver's license and vehicle registration, immigration and integration services, social welfare administration, youth and family services, public safety and order, construction and environmental permits, health services, and oversight of schools and educational institutions. The entity is governed by the elected Kreistag (district council) and led by Landrat Achim Schwickert with First Deputy Gabriele Wieland.

The administration runs a third-party-dependent digital infrastructure: web hosting by netclusive GmbH, council session management via SessionNet (Somacos GmbH), online citizen appointment booking via Kommunix GmbH, applicant tracking via PERBILITY GmbH, and web design by Module23 Werbeagentur. Citizen-facing digital channels include online appointment booking for Kfz-Zulassung, Führerscheinstelle, Ausländerbehörde, and Gesundheitsamt; a Virtual Post Office (VPS RLP) for secure electronic document submission; and the Allize-App supporting single parents. Internal compliance mandates include the Rhineland-Palatinate E-Rechnung (electronic invoicing) requirement effective April 1, 2025, and an internal HinSchG whistleblower reporting office. Operating subsidiaries include Kreismusikschule Westerwald (music education) and Kreisvolkshochschule Westerwald e.V. (adult education). Long-standing international partnerships include Grafschaft Northamptonshire (UK, since 1981) and the Mugesera sector in Rwanda (since 1982).

The entity is funded through public taxation and statutory administrative fees (Gebühren) regulated by federal and state fee schedules, with no commercial revenue disclosure. Pricing follows statutory norms, with one disclosed differentiated fee of EUR 15.00 for express driver's license document processing. Headcount is approximately 30, supplemented by roughly 50 trainee civil servants in dual-study and apprenticeship programs. Marketing and citizen engagement occur via the official website, Instagram, WhatsApp information channel, press releases, the 'Westerwälder Gespräche' public dialogue series, and civic education programs such as 'Planspiel Demokratie'. The sub-brand portfolio includes the Allize-App, the 'Wäller Heimat' annual regional yearbook, and the 'Westerwälder Gespräche' discussion series.
