Merseburg’s Citizen Reporter: A Digital Tool for Improving the City


Merseburg residents can now easily report issues and concerns online through the city’s “Bürgermelder” (Citizen Reporter) platform. Uwe Darnstädt, Chairman of the Committee for Public Order and Hazard Prevention, highlights the importance of this tool for more effective urban governance.



Uwe Darnstädt, Chairman of the Committee for Public Order and Hazard Prevention in the Merseburg City Council, draws attention to an often-overlooked opportunity for residents to directly contribute to improving their living environment. Through the city’s Citizen Reporter platform https://www.merseburg.de/de/buergermelder.html, citizens can report problems and grievances directly to the relevant authorities. Darnstädt, who is also a member of the AfD city council group, emphasizes the platform’s significance: “Many Merseburgers still don’t know about this option. It’s a simple yet effective way to submit concerns quickly and without hassle.”

The system is designed to be simple and user-friendly. Citizens can report issues via an online form, and each submission receives a tracking number. This allows users to monitor the status of their reports at any time. Darnstädt points out that this method is superior to written complaints, as citizens retain daily oversight of the progress. Additionally, users can upload photos to clearly document the on-site situation.

“This is a first step toward establishing order in our city. We will present more improvement ideas in the future,” announces Darnstädt. He sees the Citizen Reporter as a crucial interface between residents and the city administration—one that not only enhances communication but also increases efficiency in resolving issues.

Examples of Current Reports

To illustrate how the Citizen Reporter works, here are some current examples from the system:
Traffic Signs and Signals: A report from August 9, 2024, describes how the intersection of Klobikauer Straße and Ruhrweg is regularly blocked by parked cars, creating a traffic hazard. The resident calls for regular monitoring by the public order office and the installation of no-parking signs and street markings.

Street Lighting: On August 8, 2024, a failure of street lighting was reported on Lessingstraße. The affected section lies between Rathenaustraße and Weißenfelser Straße. Repair work is already underway.

Green Spaces: Also on August 8, 2024, a report was submitted about overgrown paths below the Russian Cemetery. Dog walkers are having difficulty navigating the area, as the path is overrun with nettles and blackberry bushes. The citizen is requesting the path be cleared.

These examples show just how diverse the concerns of Merseburg’s citizens can be. The public order office and city administration are continuously working to resolve these issues and improve the city’s quality of life. The Citizen Reporter provides the ideal platform for this.
