Stadt Hausach

What Stadt Hausach does

Stadt Hausach is the municipal government (Stadt) of Hausach, a town of approximately 6,000 residents located in the Kinzigtal valley of the Black Forest in the Ortenaukreis district of Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg, Germany, first documented as a city in 1259. The municipality administers local government services including civil registry, building permits, trade registration, property tax collection (Grundsteuer and Gewerbesteuer), waste management, childcare (operating three kindergartens), public transportation (Rufauto on-demand service and carsharing), and infrastructure planning. Its technology stack centers on a TYPO3 CMS-based municipal website at hausach.de that delivers E-B\u00fcrgerdienste (e-government) services including online applications, digital Grundsteuerreform declarations, B\u00fcrgerauskunft citizen information, lost and found, and downloadable forms. The municipality also operates cultural and tourism products including the annual Hausacher LeseLenz literature festival featuring international authors, the Theater unter der Burg open-air theater at the historic Burg Husen castle ruins (purchased from the House of F\u00fcrstenberg in 1968), a Sommerferienprogramm summer vacation program with 30+ activities, the Kinzigtalbad swimming facility, the Stadthalle event venue, and the Mediathek public library.

Stadt Hausach serves three primary constituencies: local residents requiring municipal administration, tourists and day visitors attracted to the Black Forest region's cultural events and outdoor recreation, and approximately 102+ registered local businesses supported through economic development programs. Revenue derives from municipal taxes (property tax and trade tax), administrative fees, and tourism-related income, though specific figures are not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is direct-to-citizen through physical Rathaus service windows, the digital e-government platform, and the Kultur- und Tourismusb\u00fcr office, supplemented by event-driven engagement through annual cultural programming and the Schwarzwald Tourismus Kinzigtal regional tourism network.

Strategically, Stadt Hausach participates in regional inter-municipal cooperation as a member of the Gemeinsamer Gutachterausschuss Offenburg-Kinzigtal (formed 2023-07-01, covering 22 municipalities and 180,000 residents), is a shareholder in the nectanet Black Forest Power Region economic development network, and administers the Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg ELR (Entwicklungsprogramm L\u00e4ndlicher Raum) rural development funding program for local businesses. Marketing channels include the municipal website, Facebook (169,756,949 follower count noted, likely page likes), Instagram (@stadt_hausach), a municipal podcast, and event marketing. Premium sponsorship relationships include E-Werk Mittelbaden AG & Co. KG as a sponsor of the 2025 Theater unter der Burg production.

Direct peers

• Stadt Wolfach: Adjacent Kinzigtal municipality of similar population and Black Forest tourism profile; explicitly named as a regional tourism partner via Schwarzwald Tourismus Kinzigtal e.V. with a shared office in Wolfach. Directly comparable in scale, offerings, and regional positioning.
• Stadt Haslach im Kinzigtal: Small Kinzigtal valley town in the Ortenaukreis with comparable municipal service mix, cultural events, and tourism offerings. Same regional cooperation frameworks (Gutachterausschuss, Schwarzwald Tourismus) apply, making it a direct functional peer.
• Stadt Gengenbach: Ortenaukreis town of similar size with a strong heritage tourism proposition (well-preserved Altstadt) and annual cultural events. Comparable in municipal-service structure and Black Forest tourism positioning, slightly more established as a visitor destination.
• Stadt Schiltach: Small historic town in the Kinzigtal valley, similar in population and structure to Hausach. Shares the same regional tourism, Gutachterausschuss membership, and small-municipality service profile.
• Stadt Hornberg: Neighboring Ortenaukreis municipality in the Black Forest with comparable population, regional tourism ties, and small-town municipal governance profile. Direct peer along all relevant dimensions.
• Gemeinde Oberwolfach: Even smaller Kinzigtal municipality providing a like-for-like comparison on minimum-scale municipal service delivery, regional tourism, and Gutachterausschuss participation.
• Stadt Triberg im Schwarzwald: Iconic Black Forest tourism town famous for its waterfalls, comparable municipal size but with a more tourism-dependent economy. Useful peer for benchmarking tourism infrastructure and marketing approaches.
