The Gemeindeverwaltungsverband Neckartenzlingen (GVV) is an association of six municipalities in Baden-Württemberg that have joined forces to efficiently perform joint administrative tasks [3]. The member municipalities are Altdorf, Altenriet, Bempflingen with Kleinbettlingen, Neckartailfingen, Neckartenzlingen and Schlaitdorf. The association was founded on January 1, 1972 and is based in the Neckartenzlingen town hall [1].
The core mission of the GVV is to increase efficiency, optimize resources and provide smaller municipalities with a professional administrative infrastructure that they could not economically maintain individually by centralizing administrative tasks.
The Gemeindeverwaltungsverband covers a wide range of administrative services [4]:
Financial Administration and Treasury: The GVV manages the budget, treasury and accounting of the member municipalities. This centralization enables standardized and economical processing of financial processes.
Registry Office: Since April 1, 2019, the association has operated a joint registry office association, which processes the tasks of the registry office and pension information at a central location [1]. This simplifies administrative processes for citizens and reduces operating costs.
Tax Administration: The GVV manages taxes and levies as well as dunning for the member municipalities, ensuring that these tasks are performed professionally and uniformly.
IT and Digitalization: Since 2019, information technology has been supported by a combination of external expertise and in-house staff [1]. This ensures modern digital infrastructure and continuous technical support for all municipalities.
Municipal Enforcement Service: The association employs a joint enforcement service with two positions, which operates throughout the association area and supports administrative tasks on site [1].
Climate Protection: The GVV is involved in climate protection measures and thus contributes to sustainable development in the region.
Personnel and Organizational Administration: This central function ensures professional and coordinated personnel administration for all participating municipalities.
Decisions are made by the association assembly, which is made up of representatives of the municipal councils of the member municipalities and meets twice a year [2]. This ensures democratic participation and control. The association assembly is headed by an association chairperson.
The GVV employs qualified personnel in various specialist areas, from IT specialists to financial accountants, who work daily to improve administrative processes.
An essential aspect of regional development is the support of small and medium-sized enterprises. A large proportion of the companies in the region are organized in the Werbering Neckartenzlingen, which acts as a regional interest group for medium-sized entrepreneurs. This shows the GVV's commitment to the economic vitality of the region beyond purely administrative functions.
The GVV has continuously developed and modernized. The merging of tasks such as the establishment of the joint registry office association in 2019 demonstrates the willingness to optimize and simplify administrative processes. The integration of in-house IT staff alongside external expertise shows a modern approach to digital transformation.
The Gemeindeverwaltungsverband Neckartenzlingen is a proven model of efficient administrative cooperation that enables smaller municipalities to provide high-quality public services. By centralizing finances, tax administration, IT and other critical functions, the GVV contributes to the stability and professionalism of administration in the region while supporting the economic development of local SMEs.
