Citizens’ Offices

Citizens’ Offices (Bürgerbüros) in Dresden offer a comprehensive administrative service during consultation hours.

Citizens can clear up various issues with a member of staff at their local Bürgerbüro. The services are selected to focus on particularly frequent or urgent administrative procedures.

If complex issues cannot be definitively handled at a Bürgerbüro, they will be noted there and passed on to the appropriate specialist offices. Citizens can receive information and advice for numerous types of applications. The contact details of other branches of the city administration can be provided upon request.

The range of services provided by Bürgerbüros specifically includes:

Citizen advice

  • Basic information about the responsibilities of the city administration and subordinate institutions
  • Provision of contact details for individual members of staff within the city administration, and regional and national authorities
  • General information about the city administration
  • Provision of free information materials (e.g. Welcome Pack for Newcomers in Dresden)
  • Sale of city printouts (e.g. rent levels and holiday passes)
  • Receipt and forwarding of notifications, complaints and suggestions

Application service

We have numerous application forms; we can help you fill them out and forward your documents to the appropriate specialist offices. Some of our application forms include:

  • Tree felling approval (request for exemption from the Charter for the Protection of Trees and Shrubs ~ Gehölzschutzsatzung)
  • Special use of public roads
  • Application for a communal market stall
