Administrative offices of the district closed between the years

The administrative offices of the district of Waldeck-Frankenberg in Korbach, Frankenberg and Dorfitter will be closed from 23 to 30 December this year. The district's central control centre is of course exempt from this regulation. There is also a special arrangement for the waste disposal facilities and the registration offices.

Control centres staffed 365 days a year
Due to the closure between the years, regular operations in the district administration will be suspended for a total of eleven consecutive days - including public holidays and weekends. The central control centre in Korbach district hall is of course exempt from the closure: it is staffed around the clock 365 days a year.

Special opening hours for waste disposal facilities
All waste disposal facilities will be closed all day on Christmas Eve. The facilities in Bad Wildungen, Flechtdorf and Geismar will be open between the holidays. The following times apply: On 27 December, they will be open from 8 am to 1.30 pm. On 28 December, the facilities in Flechtdorf and Geismar will be open from 8 am to 12 noon; Bad Wildungen will be closed on this day. On 30 December, the facilities in Bad Wildungen, Geismar and Flechtdorf will be open from 8 am to 12.30 pm and from 1.30 pm to 4 pm. On 31 December, the Flechtdorf and Geismar facilities will be open from 8 a.m. to 12 noon; Bad Wildungen will be closed on this day. The regular opening hours will then apply again for all stations from 2 January 2025. The waste advice hotline is not manned between the years.

Appointments at the registration office by appointment
The registration offices in the district are open between the years as follows: On 23 December from 8am to 1pm in Bad Arolsen, from 7.30am to 12pm in Bad Wildungen, from 8.30am to 12.30pm and from 1.30pm to 3pm in Battenberg and from 7.30am to 12pm in Frankenberg. On 27 December, they will be open from 7.30 am to 12.30 pm in Bad Wildungen and from 7.30 am to 12 noon in Frankenberg. On 30 December, they will be open from 8 am to 1 pm in Bad Arolsen and from 7.30 am to 12 pm in Bad Wildungen.

It is necessary to make an appointment in advance. Please use the online appointment system if possible. Unfortunately, spontaneous visits are not possible. The Traffic Department asks for your understanding that only customers who have confirmed an appointment in advance can be received. This makes it easier for both the administration and citizens to plan their consultation times.

Closure to save energy
This year, we have once again decided to close our centres between the years to save energy," explains District Administrator Jürgen van der Horst. The energy situation has eased slightly this winter. Nevertheless, it is still important to save energy. "The fact that between the years is a popular holiday period anyway has also strengthened our resolve." Due to the closure of the administrative offices, there is virtually no need to heat, light or power the premises on the following eleven days. "We therefore ask for your understanding for this measure."

Customers of the district administration are asked to deal with urgent matters that need to be dealt with in person by the week before Christmas if possible. In this context, the district administration would also like to point out once again that numerous applications to the district administration in various subject areas can already be submitted online.
