25 years of the Federal Statistical Office in Bonn: A success story for an informed democracy

Federal Statistical Office promotes the Bonn community and democracy

The Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) has been providing official figures from Bonn for 25 years. These statistics are essential to obtain information about the well -being of people, trade in other countries, the areas of health and social affairs, agriculture and the environment in Germany. With 680 employees, the office on the campus in Graurheindorfer Strasse is working to promote an informed society and a lively democracy. Under the motto "Democracy needs data-data need democracy", the office celebrates its 25th anniversary at the Bonn location on August 6, 2024. On this occasion, the pioneering work of the early years as well as the new tasks in Bonn is looked back.

Important contribution to democracy

The President of the Federal Statistical Office, Ruth Brand, emphasizes that employees in Bonn have been making an important contribution to democracy for 25 years. For them, work in the Federal Statistical Office is not just a job, but a service in society. The independent and high -quality data they raised, speak for themselves. They form the foundation for political decisions, support social debates and are an effective remedy for disinformation. The statistics from Bonn are therefore an indispensable part of the data ecosystem for a democratic society.

pioneering work and commitment

Birgit Settekorn, head of the Bonn branch of the Federal Statistical Office, recognizes the commitment and team spirit of the employees. The Bonn location has successfully worked in areas such as foreign trade, health, agriculture, environment, households and social affairs. In times of multi -layered crises, the importance of official statistics is particularly clear. The statistics from Bonn cover almost all areas of everyday life and provide important indicators for economic development, the effects of climate change and social cohesion.

basis for responsible government action

The statistics from Bonn are an important basis for responsible government action and a stable democracy, emphasizes Bernd Krösser, State Secretary in the Federal Ministry of the Interior and for Home. They include almost all areas of everyday life and provide important information on economic development, the consequences of climate change and social cohesion.

collection and provision of statistical data

Mayor Nicole Untersh congratulates the Federal Statistical Office on behalf of the Federal City of Bonn. The collection and provision of statistical data are essentially the core of democratic processes. Since the adoption of the Basic Law 75 years ago, the world has become increasingly complex, and informed political decisions more than ever need a good data basis.

Bonn as a location for the Federal Statistical Office

The beginnings of the Federal Statistical Office in Bonn are closely linked to the German association. The move of the German Bundestag and the Federal Ministries from Bonn to Berlin was regulated by the Berlin/Bonn Act in 1994. As a compensation, numerous federal authorities were transferred in whole or in part to Bonn. In 1999 the new location of the Federal Statistical Office in Bonn was also built. The location was entrusted with significant tasks of official statistics and has continued to develop since then.

Various tasks and innovations

The Bonn location not only takes on classic statistical tasks, but also new tasks that go beyond traditional statistics. Here the new nationwide basic register for companies are created and institutions from politics and administration are supported with high -quality data for well -founded decisions. The Federal Statistical Office is an attractive employer who has been using modern methods of data collection and analysis for 25 years, offers extensive training opportunities and guarantees a high compatibility of work and private life.
