These tasks are stipulated by law in the craft regulations. The Reutlingen Chamber of Crafts is the self-governing organization of the regional craft industry, and it takes on sovereign tasks of the state. This includes keeping the handicrafts register and the list of handicraft-like trades (Annex A, B1 and B2 of the Handicrafts Code).
The Reutlingen Chamber of Skilled Crafts sees itself as a modern service center for the skilled trades, which looks after the interests of the affiliated companies and those employed in the trades, bundles them and represents them externally. In this way, it ensures that the concerns of all craftsmen are represented jointly and in solidarity in politics and the public. At a time when the everyday appearance of this branch of industry is changing and the profile of requirements for employees in theory and practice is changing ever more rapidly, one of their essential tasks is to recognize these developments quickly, to develop suitable assistance and in the interests of the skilled trades to react.
