He reformed the administration there into a modern service company with integrated service centers in the districts, an active complaint management system - the first complaint management system of a public administration in Germany - and with then completely unusual opening times on Saturdays. At the same time, Hans-Josef Vogel strengthened the role of the citizen as a “customer” of the administration and as a “co-producer” of public services.
