Residents & Politics

The city hall ('Rathaus') is the City of Zwickau's representative building, not only thanks its new external splendour. With the residents' service on the ground floor, the city administration also has a contact point where many concerns can be dealt with. The 23 employees are available 45 hours per week, including Saturday, to help residents with advice and support.

The Westsächsische Hochschule Zwickau - University of Applied Sciences offers excellent study conditions and is an important partner of the city and companies in the region.

The district of Zwickau is one of the most densely populated and economically successful in Saxony. You can find extensive information on the website of the district administration.

The city council is the representation of the residents and is the main body of the City of Zwickau. The basic regulations, meeting dates, agendas and minutes can be found in the "City Council" section.
