Due to increasing competition between different regional locations, Soltau established its city management in 2000.
The city management aims at positioning Soltau as an attractive location in the Lüneburg Heath region by improving the city’s competitive situation and developing an independent profile.
It is the task of the city management to coordinate and develop programs. In this area, the city management is supposed to act as a link between individuals, institutions, local government and the business world. Due to this role, it is important that the city management takes part in discussions on traffic and parking conditions, security, cleanliness and the economic development of Soltau in general and its city center in particular.
Like many other cities, Soltau has to try to reduce the number of available commercial properties with the help of a targeted real estate management. This is the reason why the city management offers a free online service for commercial properties. In this context, a list of available buildings is supposed to serve as an information platform for potential buyers and tenants in the retail trade sector, founders of a new business, real estate owners and representatives from the real estate sector.
When it comes to managing events, the city management works closely together with special working groups that are responsible for the planning and implementation of new and exciting events. This cooperation aims at increasing the attractiveness of single events and, therefore, the image of Soltau itself.
