 Appointments must be made inadvance
Appointments must be made in advance. If possible, please use the online appointment system at www.landkreis-waldeck.frankenberg.de/onlinetermin for this purpose. Unfortunately, spontaneous visits are not possible. The Traffic Department asks for your understanding that only customers who have previously confirmed an appointment can be received. This makes it easier for both the administration and citizens to plan office hours.

Closure to save energy
This year, we have once again decided to close our administrative offices between the years to save energy," says District Administrator Jürgen van der Horst, explaining the decision. "The time between the years is a popular holiday period anyway. This has reaffirmed our decision to take this step." Due to the closure of the administrative offices, there is virtually no need to heat, light or supply electricity to the premises on the following twelve days. "We therefore ask for your understanding for this measure."

Customers of the district administration are asked to deal with urgent matters that need to be dealt with in person by the week before Christmas if possible. In this context, the district administration would also like to point out once again that numerous applications to the district administration in various subject areas can already be submitted online.
