Franz-Reinhard Habbel
Franz-Reinhard Habbel (* 1950 ) is a German writer and spokesman for the German Association of Towns and Municipalities based in Berlin. As an editor of non-fiction books, a speaker and a member of top-class specialist committees, he is one of the leading figures in the introduction of e-government in Germany.
Life
Habbel headed the district council office of the Hochsauerlandkreis from 1978. He received his first speaker position in 1982 at the Association of Cities and Municipalities in North Rhine-Westphalia and at the regional association of the German Association of Cities and Municipalities (DStGB), Düsseldorf. In 1998 he became the nationwide spokesman for the DStGB in Berlin and still holds this position today. As the spokesman for this municipal umbrella association, he articulates the interests of 11,000 municipalities in Germany. He is the founder and head of the Innovators Club of the DStGB. Around 40 mayors, mayors and district administrators as well as executives from politics, business and science deal with strategic future issues of the municipalities in an interdisciplinary manner.
E-government
Habbel is a pioneer of e-government strategy in Germany. His focus is not only on the municipal sector. He was involved in numerous expert commissions such as the Enquete Commission for New Media of the German Bundestag, the working group of the federal ministries of research, education and technology as well as the economy on digital signature, and the working group on administration of the D21 initiative - Germany's way into the information society . He was also a member of the advisory board of the Mobile Multimedia Services research project of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology. Since 2010 he has represented the municipalities in the IT planning council of the federal and state governments as director for fundamental political issues of the DStGB .
Habbel runs its own blog on administrative modernization. Its core message is: Without modernizing the public sector, there will be no fundamental reforms in Germany. Politics and administration need a guiding political vision.
