Local office (Hamburg)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Territorial division of the local offices in 1951

A local office in Hamburg was a decentralized office of the district office for citizen-oriented services until the beginning of 2007 , but not an independent authority . Originally created as a stopgap solution after the devastating air raids in July 1943 , the local offices were retained after the end of the war and incorporated into the new district structure from 1951 . Most recently there were 15 local offices in Hamburg.

The local offices were each headed by a local office manager. At each local office there was a local committee , which was filled according to the election result for the entire respective district - not just in the local office area. Just as the local office was subordinate to the district office and the local office manager was subordinate to the district office manager, the local committee was merely a committee of the respective district assembly that could change its resolutions at any time.

As of January 31, 2007, the local offices were dissolved in the course of a district administrative reform and the tasks were transferred to the district offices and regionally responsible specialist departments:

  • Citizens / customer centers (registration offices)
  • Building inspection departments (building applications and permits)
  • Job center (job placement and support for Hartz IV recipients)

The previous local office managers were replaced by regional officers. After the election in February 2008, the local committees were replaced by regional committees.

Duties of the local offices

In the local offices were primarily registration offices and Bauprüfabteilungen for its neighborhoods. For reasons of rationalization, however, many services were only provided by the district offices.

Today, Hamburg citizens can take advantage of many official services in any district office or community / customer center, regardless of their place of residence. This was not possible because of the decentralized management of files before the introduction of electronic data processing . It was therefore important for the residents of Hamburg to know the local office responsible for them.
