Stadt Heiligenhaus

What Stadt Heiligenhaus does

Stadt Heiligenhaus is a public-law municipal government entity (Kommune) serving approximately 28,000 residents in the Mettmann district of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, granted city rights (Stadtrechte) on 01.04.1947. The municipality delivers the standard German municipal service portfolio through an elected Verwaltungsvorstand led by Bürgermeister Björn Kerkmann, including citizen services via the Bürgerbüro, urban planning and building supervision (Bauaufsicht), education and family services (kindergartens, schools, music school, library), cultural and tourism offerings, social services for seniors and refugees, and municipal infrastructure management covering sewage (~4 billion liters processed annually), parking (1,090+ public spaces plus 240+ semi-public), and weekly markets.

The municipality operates a digital service platform that includes an Online-Terminvergabe appointment booking system, a comprehensive Bürgerserviceportal, a Virtual City 3D aerial viewer covering 407 square kilometers of the district (providing measurement, drawing, and printing functions), an energy management system for municipal properties funded by the National Climate Protection Initiative (BMWK, 2024-2027, code 67K25761), a solar and green roof cadastre (Solar- und Gründachkataster) integrated with LANUV NRW data, and the BürgerSolarBeratung volunteer solar advisory program. Climate protection is a strategic priority, evidenced by a dedicated Klimaschutzteam, an integrated climate protection concept (established 15.06.2021, follow-up project started 01.10.2023), communal heat planning, and participation in the STADTRADELN cycling campaign where participants logged 114,733 kilometers and saved 19 tonnes of CO2.

Revenue is generated through a diversified mix of municipal taxes and levies from residents and local businesses, sewage charges (Sondervermögen Abwasser Heiligenhaus), parking fees (first two hours free with disc, third hour €1.00, fourth hour €4.00, maximum €5.00 plus EasyPark service fee), weekly market fees (Wednesdays and Saturdays 07:00-13:00), and building supervision fees (Bauaufsicht). Distribution reaches citizens through the City Hall (Rathaus at Hauptstraße 157), the Bürgerbüro, online portals, and a network of community facilities including the Immanuel-Kant-Gymnasium, Heljensbad sports facility, Museumslandschaft Abtsküche, and the Feierabendmarkt after-work market. Strategic partners include Stadtwerke Heiligenhaus (municipal utilities), Schlüsselregion e.V. for vocational training, Bergischer Bildungscampus, SBEG for residential development, Kreis Mettmann regional government, and federal agencies BMWK and ZUG gGmbH for climate funding.
