Tegernheim Town Hall is going cashless: This is how it will work from December!

From December 17, 2025, the municipality of Tegernheim will stop cash transactions in the town hall. This is a step towards modernizing administration and improving citizen services. Citizens are encouraged to pay cashless. The municipality of Tegernheim would like to thank the population in advance for their understanding during this transition.

The move to the new town hall at Ringstraße 46, 93105 Tegernheim marks another milestone in the community's digital transformation. This initiative aims to reduce administrative burdens and provide citizens with more convenient access to government services.

Digitalization of the public sector

The introduction of cashless payment methods is part of a broader trend being pursued by many municipalities. A survey shows that 70% of citizens want digital administrative procedures that are as easy as those offered by private providers. Only 19% of citizens believe that public authorities can keep up with the efficiency of private companies, which highlights the need for action. Digital payment methods could provide a remedy here and relieve municipalities of administrative burdens, as an analysis on eGovernment shows.

A successful example of digital transformation in the municipal sector is the city of Rain. With around 5,200 inhabitants in the Donau-Ries district, Rain is known as a flower town and the headquarters of the “Dehner” garden center. The city has implemented various digital modules and integrations for its online offerings, giving citizens faster access to services. This includes online services and forms that are accessible directly via the website.

The integration of the Bayern portal into Rain's website ensures that citizens can quickly find a wide range of information about municipal tasks and services. The introduction of a municipal occupancy calendar for renting public spaces is a further step towards the digitalization of administration. Interested parties can make bookings online after their email addresses are verified.

The role of modern payment methods

The shift to digital payments could prove crucial. Click to Pay is a new state of the art that enables secure and easy payments on the Internet. Large retailers such as Lidl and Mediamarkt already use this standard. This opens up new opportunities for municipalities to work more efficiently and improve the user experience for citizens. The service provider vobapay GmbH enables municipalities to easily integrate these new payment methods.

Digital processes already offer numerous advantages, such as the possibility of immediate operational readiness and the reduction of costs. The KIKOM Pay pilot project was developed for special needs, such as billing meal payments in daycare centers, which simplifies administrative matters and supplements administration with the KIKOM app.

With the switch to a cashless town hall, Tegernheim is entering a new era of administrative modernization, which should not only increase efficiency in the long term, but also offer citizens a more pleasant experience.
