Saxon volunteer card
Eligible Chemnitz residents can now apply for the Saxon Volunteer Card from the City of Chemnitz online. The Saxon Volunteer Card programme is an offer to all Saxon municipalities to recognise the voluntary commitment of their citizens. Numerous cooperation partners participate in the Saxon Volunteer Card programme and offer card holders discounts, for example on visits to swimming pools, castles and museums.

All administrative services can be accessed via the City of Chemnitz service portal.
The new digital services are a further building block in the implementation of the Online Access Act (OZG). This law obliges the federal, state and local authorities to offer all suitable administrative services in Germany digitally via administrative portals and to link their administrative portals to form a network. In Saxony, the Free State and its municipalities are working together to achieve this. In future, citizens, companies and associations will be able to easily access online administrative services via the Saxon cross-administrative service portal Amt24. The prerequisite for using all services is a one-off, free registration and the creation of a service account (under "My service account") on the Amt24 service portal.
In implementing its Digital Agenda, the City of Chemnitz has been gradually modernising all suitable services and administrative processes internally and externally in a strategic project since last year. The aim is to ensure that the online processes can be used successively via a standardised administrative portal in a legally compliant and data protection-compliant manner. Not only will the data be recorded in a standardised and digital format, but the aim is also to ensure that the data can be further processed without media discontinuity in the corresponding distributed specialist procedures and in the city-wide electronic file management system.
The City of Chemnitz has drawn up a roadmap for the TOP50 services for the online processes, which is currently being implemented step by step.
