Berlin struggles for citizens' offices: Preparations for elections leave scheduled calendar!

The Berlin citizens' offices are faced with a huge challenge due to the preparations for the early Bundestag election.

Everywhere in the city, employees of the citizens' offices were deducted to work on the preparations for the election. Six citizens' offices are particularly affected, which were completely closed, including locations in Spandau and Charlottenburg. District Councilor Juliane Witt said that there is a lack of personnel and space for the election organization.

These special circumstances have led to a massive decline on available dates. The situation is tense, especially in the east of Berlin, where two offices in Hellersdorf were closed for the preparations for the election. Witt also reported that employees who are normally responsible for the citizens' office have to act in other functions. While some districts, such as Lichtenberg, are optimistic and assure that the service can continue to be maintained, it looks dark in most other districts.

However, visitors can take the chance to book appointments at short notice if you are looking for free time windows online. The service portal of the city enables the booking of appointments at all citizens' offices in Berlin, also outside of your own residential area. Bookings are still free, but the strong demand often makes it difficult to find a timely appointment. People with urgent concerns are encouraged to report directly to a citizens' office without an appointment. Here you try to find individual solutions for emergencies.
