Stadt Waldshut-Tiengen

What Stadt Waldshut-Tiengen does

Stadt Waldshut-Tiengen is a Große Kreisstadt (large district-level municipality) in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, formed in 1975 through the merger of Waldshut and Tiengen. It functions as the administrative capital of Landkreis Waldshut and operates a comprehensive municipal government serving residents, local businesses, and visitors across its territory. The city delivers statutory public services including citizen administration (Bürgerbüro, Standesamt, Ordnungsamt, Ausländerbehörde), education (Kitas, schools, VHS, Musikschule), public safety (Feuerwehr), cultural programming (Kulturamt, Stadtbibliotheken, Stadtarchiv), civil engineering and wastewater management (Tiefbauamt), and urban planning through designated Sanierungsgebiete (urban redevelopment zones).

Its core products and digital platforms include the Online-Bürgerdienste e-government portal, the BürgerGIS geographic information system (hosted on VertiGIS), digital library services (filmfriend streaming, Onleihe e-lending, Brockhaus, Munzinger, HanisauLand), and a newly launched digitized historical newspaper archive spanning 1855-1945. The municipality also operates Stadtwerke Waldshut-Tiengen as a wholly-owned municipal utilities enterprise handling energy and water services. Infrastructure assets include 56 playgrounds, 36 km of fiber optic cable for broadband coverage (reaching ~900 households and 172 commercial areas at 85.5%/14.5% coverage thresholds of 100/50 Mbit/s), and joint property-valuation services consolidated across 14 municipalities via the Gemeinsamer Gutachterausschuss Landkreis Waldshut Ost.

The municipality's revenue model is non-commercial: it is funded through local taxes, state and federal allocations, user fees for municipal services, and program-specific subsidies (e.g., EUR 734,622 federal + EUR 293,849 state broadband funding). Strategic priorities currently center on climate-neutrality by 2040 (per the 2024 Klimaschutzkonzept), municipal heat planning under the 2020 Baden-Württemberg Climate Protection Act, e-mobility infrastructure development, and continued digitization of public services and cultural heritage.
