The District Administrator

Welcome to the website of the Oberbergischer Kreis!

I am delighted that you have found your way to our website and are interested in the Oberbergischer Kreis. With our new online presence, we aim to make it easier for you to access information, contacts, and services of the district administration – in a clear, user-friendly, and contemporary manner.

The district administration is responsible for many daily life tasks. Our goal is to provide you with precisely the offerings you need in a clear, reliable, and direct way.

At the same time, we want to give you an insight into our district and show you what makes life in the Oberbergischer Kreis so special.

The Oberbergischer Kreis is a region with a high quality of life. People enjoy living and working here – in vibrant towns and communities, in a strong economic region, and amidst a diverse natural and cultural landscape. In doing so, we combine the tried-and-true with new ideas and actively shape the future of our homeland.

What particularly defines our district are the people who contribute locally. Citizens, municipalities, businesses, and associations shape the coexistence and development of our region every day. Together, we face the challenges of our time – be it in education, mobility, digitization, economy, climate and environmental protection, or social cohesion.

I warmly invite you to get to know the Oberbergischer Kreis better: as an attractive place to live and work, as a location for diverse leisure and cultural activities, and above all, as a home to dedicated people.

Sincerely yours,

Klaus Grootens
District Administrator
