State Office for Statistics Lower Saxony (LSN) has been the official name for the statistics authority of the State of Lower Saxony since January 1, 2014 . It emerged from the disbanded State Office for Statistics and Communication Technology Lower Saxony and belongs to the division of the Lower Saxony Ministry of the Interior and Sport . The state government of Lower Saxony would like to increase the importance of statistics by being its own authority . The founding president is Eckart Methner. On July 25, 2016, Simone Lehmann took over the office from her predecessor Thomas Senftleben.
The central task of the state office is the collection of numerous statistics from various areas and their provision for the public, business, science, politics and administration. The LSN works closely with the statistical offices of the other 15 federal states and the Federal Statistical Office . Unlike in many other countries, the management of the state statistics authority in Lower Saxony is not also the state election authority.
tasks
The State Office for Statistics Lower Saxony prepares the statistics stipulated by EU, federal and state law, collects data, processes them, evaluates the results and makes them available to the public. National and environmental accounts and other overall systems of statistical data complete the range of tasks. All official statistics require a legal basis for their implementation and publication. The legal bases of the LSN are:
- Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on European Statistics (EC) No. 223/2009 ( EU Statistics Regulation )
- Regulation (EU) No. 759/2015 amending Regulation (EC) No. 223/2009 (PDF)
- Federal Statistics Act - BStatG
- Lower Saxony Statistics Law - NStatG
- Statistical order
- Statutory regulations, laws and edicts
In addition, the state office supports the state election control of Lower Saxony in preparing the results of local, regional, federal and European elections.

The State Office is divided into four departments, which are divided into departments:
- Department 1 Central Affairs

Products and services
The State Office for Statistics has an extensive range of data available with the results of the surveys carried out.

The regional database LSN-online offers more than 90 million statistical data and extensive evaluation options for municipalities, integrated municipalities, districts and urban districts, statistical regions (= NUTS-2 ) and the state of Lower Saxony.
The office maintains a central information service where data that is not available on the internet or the regional database can be requested and individual data compilations can be commissioned.
The in-house library is open to the public by appointment. All publications of official statistics in Lower Saxony from 1946 onwards as well as selected publications from other state statistical offices , the Federal Statistical Office and the Statistical Office of the European Union ( Eurostat ) are available there. In addition, the holdings also contain historical publications by the Imperial Statistical Office or the Reich Statistical Office and the Royal Prussian Statistical Bureau or the Prussian State Statistical Office.
In addition to the statistics prescribed by law, the office is also a service provider for analyzes, special reports and special surveys for the departments of the Lower Saxony state government . Among other things, a social report, integration monitoring and regional monitoring are regularly prepared and environmental indicators are calculated.
history

On March 1, 2008, the Lower Saxony State Office for Statistics and Communication Technology (LSKN) was formed through the merger with the Lower Saxony Computer Center (izn ). This state company was dissolved on December 31, 2013, resulting in the state company IT.Niedersachsen and today's State Office for Statistics Lower Saxony .
