Restricted accessibility to the Duisburg city administration on Bridge Day!
Anyone who wants to rely on the Duisburg city administration on Friday, June 20th should be well prepared. On this day the administration is only accessible to a limited extent. That's what she reports RP Online. Even if the fire department's emergency call and the city's field service are available as usual, many other things remain closed.
In particular, the citizen service stations, the Office for Social Affairs and Housing, and many other administrative offices are affected. These include, among others:
- Amt für Schulische Bildung
- Amt für Rechnungswesen und Steuern
- Amt für Baurecht und betrieblichen Umweltschutz
- Innendienst des Bürger- und Ordnungsamtes
- Ausländerbehörde
- Einbürgerungsbehörde
- Straßenverkehrsamt
- Großteile des Jugendamtes
- Stadtarchiv
- Standesamt (ausgenommen bereits vereinbarte Eheschließungstermine)
Daily accessibility limited
It will be possible for undertakers to carry out a notarization at the registry office again on Monday, June 23rd. However, there is good news for children and schools: the city's daycare centers and schools are not affected by the closures, even though some facilities may be closed.
The central library on Steinschen Gasse is open on June 20th and 21st. The so-called “Open Libraries” in Beeck, Wanheimerort and Vierlinden are accessible on all days. However, the following applies to all other library branches and the book bus: closed. The city library's online offering can be used without restriction with a valid library card.
In addition, the municipal baths as well as the Museum of German Inland Shipping and the Cultural and Urban History Museum are available to visitors. The music and art school will remain closed on June 20th, while classes will take place at the adult education center, but the offices will be closed.
Reasons for the closures
The limited accessibility of the city administration is due to savings for budget consolidation and positive environmental effects through CO₂ reduction. The careful handling of natural resources and the effort to reduce energy costs are current priorities for the city of Duisburg, as Duisburg Informative also reports: “Savings for budget consolidation by reducing provisions and reducing energy costs are planned” [ Duisburg Informative ].
From Monday, June 23rd, the city administration will be available again as usual. So if you want to use services this Friday, you should reschedule in good time.
