Bopfingen raises the alarm: reduction in bureaucracy for new departure!

On March 16, 2025, the tenth edition of the "Bopfinger Impulse" took place in the Schranne. Around 250 guests came to discuss the important topic of reducing bureaucracy and the necessary change of mentality in Germany. Mayor Dr. Gunter Bühler opened the event in the presence of guests of honor such as the DLRG groups from Bopfingen and Trochtelfingen as well as the team of the Egerquellen waterworks.

In his speech, Bühler emphasized that the population had to become active and to develop new ideas. He referred to an urgent call from the former Federal President Roman Herzog, who asked in 1997: "A jerk must go through Germany." This requirement gains in view of the current challenges of relevance. GHV chairman Julian Schwarz joined this thought and made it clear the need for willingness to perform and the reduction of bureaucratic obstacles.

urgent reform requirement

The member of the state parliament Winfried Mack also addressed the need for reducing bureaucracy and economic reforms. Impulse speaker Steffen Häußlein, Managing Director of the Ladenburger Holzwerke, continued that bureaucracy is often delayed and numerous reports are perceived as a hindrance. However, the Holzwerke Ladenburger are committed to sustainable work and strengthen the energy supply in Bopfingen, which was also part of the discourse.

The event was not only a forum for the exchange, but also an invitation to network with food and drinks to develop solutions together.

Current initiatives for reducing bureaucracy

The National National Stand Controlling Council (NKR) formulated ten goals for reducing bureaucracy last year to reduce unnecessary bureaucratic stress. Federal Government.de reported 60 concrete examples that were derived from feedback from citizens, companies and the administration. The focus measures include the acceleration of planning and approval procedures as well as a reorganization of the social service system.

These initiatives are aimed particularly at small and medium -sized companies that can urgently benefit from an increase in efficiency in administrative enforcement. Despite the initiatives initiated by the outgoing federal government, not all measures could be fully implemented. The new government is asked to maintain the updated proposals and drive forward in further steps.

Next steps to relieve

The federal government has also taken measures to digitize and relieve administrative processes. bundes- government.de states that the passage to the registration office for car owners from September 2023 is no longer available, since an online registration for cars will be introduced. The children's passport is also replaced by the regular passport, which means that annual extensions are eliminated, and the official date is only required every six years.

A special focus is also on the introduction of nationwide standards for accelerating approval processes, especially when building wind turbines. This is part of the special report of the Federal Government, which indicates the need for reducing bureaucracy and a better law. Federal Minister of Justice Marco Buschmann emphasizes the importance of reducing bureaucratic hurdles for companies and actively looking for ideas for relieving bureaucratic duties.

In order to achieve these goals, the "Better legal statement and reduction in bureaucracy" coordinates the activities within the federal government and implements digital progress in legislation.
