The era of the printed official gazette is ending in Weilheim: the city only wants to publish its official announcements digitally in the future.
The city council will decide on this on Thursday – because time is of the essence.
Weilheim
– For decades, the city used the “Weilheimer Tagblatt” as its official gazette: regulations, statutes and official announcements from the city were published here in two editions per month – almost as an advertisement.
In addition, statutes to be announced were always posted on the official noticeboards at the town hall and in the districts of Unterhausen, Deutenhausen and Marnbach.
The city is currently without an official gazette
But since the beginning of the year, the town hall has effectively been without an official gazette.
The regional management of the local newspaper has terminated the agreement to publish the city of Weilheim's official gazettes as of December 31, 2023, the city council's main committee said last week.
A flat rate of 450 euros per month was recently paid for publication;
A separate price was agreed for additional special official gazettes.
Termination came in handy for the town hall
Now the city needs a successor solution quickly - because maintaining an official gazette is mandatory.
However, the state is also pushing for official gazettes to only be published digitally in the future, explained head of the main office Karin Groß in the committee.
In this respect, the termination by the local newspaper came in handy.
The administration is now proposing that official announcements in the future “be announced exclusively via a digitally published official gazette on the city of Weilheim’s homepage”.
The main committee unanimously approved this proposal, including the repeal of the previous statutes.
Both will be decided at the city council meeting next Thursday.
The new regulation should then apply from February 1st.

From then on - if the city council agrees - regulations, statutes etc. will only be officially
announced and published on the city's homepage at
www.weilheim.de/mein-weilheim/buergerservice/rathaus/stadtinfo/amtsblaetter .
Another form, the draft states, “may only be chosen if an important reason requires this in the individual case”.
Publication usually occurs on the 5th and 20th of each month.
The first day of public availability on the Internet is considered the day of official announcement.
Paper official gazettes are also available for inspection in the town hall
The city administration must collect the regulations and keep them available for inspection for the duration of their validity - even on paper: “Inspection is granted both digitally and in the original.
The Official Journal can be read, downloaded, saved or printed free of charge.
If an interested person needs the official gazette in paper form, it can be ordered by telephone or in writing.
There is a charge for obtaining paper copies.” The plan for the latter is “a nominal fee” of five euros.
By the way, all of Weilheim's official gazettes since 2001 can already be found digitally on the homepage.

SPD city councilor expects more party traffic in town hall
Digitalization in this area is also “the way into the future,” said 2nd Mayor Angelika Flock (CSU), chairing the meeting in the main committee: “We have no other choice.” And “to reassure you,” she added: “That is the same path that the district office is taking.” Several committee members demanded that the official gazettes should be “easy to find” on the city’s website in the future, ideally with their own section right on the home page.
For example, meeting dates should also be published there.
Bernhard Kerscher (SPD) also warned the administration to “sensitize the fact that party traffic could increase” because citizens may want to look at the official gazette more in the town hall: “We then have to offer the service.”
The city council meeting
begins on Thursday, January 25th, at 6:30 p.m. in the Weilheim town hall (large meeting room).
The agenda also includes an increase in daycare fees and changes to the land use plan for two new solar fields.
