for the citizenry

Simplified bureaucracy

Dresden offers numerous digital services to make contact with the city administration easier. From registering your place of residence to applying for documents - many tasks can be completed from the comfort of your own home using online forms etc. Applications for ID cards and passports can be made at self-service terminals.

Participation in city life

Citizens can actively participate in urban projects and decision-making processes. Feedback on important topics such as urban planning or environmental protection can be provided online and on site at the Citizens' Lab or other contact points. In hackathons, citizens can develop their own ideas directly as prototypes.

Access to public information

The population has online access to public documents, reports and city news or, for example, the city council livestream, so that they are always informed about the activities of the city administration. In addition to dresden.de, the city administration regularly provides information about relevant and current topics on social media.

Open data for all

A lot of data is available online and in real time. This includes 800 data sets in the open data portal, 400 topics in the themed city map and data from other city platforms. Interested parties can find information on free parking spaces, free charging points for electric vehicles or environmental data for flood forecasts.
