What Stadt Feldkirch does

Stadt Feldkirch is the municipal government of the city of Feldkirch in the Austrian state of Vorarlberg, delivering statutory public services to residents and businesses within its jurisdiction. Its core offering spans civil administration (registrations, building permits, fees, taxes), education and childcare (8 elementary schools, 21 childcare and education facilities, Musikschule Feldkirch music school, and the KiSA social work counseling program), social and senior care services, urban planning, public infrastructure, and cultural and recreational programming. The primary technology stack is a digital administration platform built on www.feldkirch.at, integrating an AI-Concierge chatbot (goodguys gmbh, leveraging OpenAI and Google APIs), Matomo self-hosted analytics, JotForm forms, Brevo newsletters, the Veröffentlichungsportal publication portal, and a DIGIaccess accessibility layer, all in compliance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA and GDPR.

The municipality generates revenue through a mix of local taxes and fees (property tax, municipal tax, tourism levy, dog tax, guest tax, entertainment tax), service and utility fees (via Stadtwerke Feldkirch for water, waste, and energy), parking and administrative fees, and subscription/recurring fees for childcare, music school, and other educational services. Its six wholly-owned subsidiaries — Stadtwerke Feldkirch (utilities), Freizeitbetriebe Feldkirch (recreation), Montforthaus Feldkirch (events), Senioren-Betreuung Feldkirch (care), Stadtmarketing und Tourismus Feldkirch (tourism), and Musikschule Feldkirch — extend its service portfolio. Distribution runs through the Rathaus citizen service center, the digital portal, the 21 childcare facilities and 8 elementary schools distributed across all districts (Altenstadt, Gisingen, Levis, Nofels, Tosters, Tisis), and the subsidiary offices. The 36-member Stadtvertretung (city parliament) and Bürgermeister Manfred Rädler govern the entity, with operations overseen under Austrian municipal law and fiscal oversight from the Vorarlberg state government.
