Baunatal discovers Ahaus: Digital future for citizens and business!
The digital world is full of exciting possibilities, and where better than in the innovative city of Ahaus? A delegation from Baunatal, consisting of press spokesman Raphael Digiacomo, Ombudsman Luca Rudolph and city marketing director Dirk Wuschko, recently traveled to Ahaus to familiarize themselves with the impressive digital services on site. They were accompanied by representatives of the local economy, all of whom had a common goal: to make everyday life easier for citizens and to better network administration and business. Baunatal.blog reports that the delegation took an exciting journey through the digital city of Ahaus, which with its 40,000 inhabitants is known for its outstanding digital offerings.
A highlight of the visit was the presentation of the “AHAUS SuperApp”, which is considered the key to digital networking in the city. This app not only offers citizens, but also visitors access to a variety of digital offers from administration, companies and clubs. Peter Sommer, Managing Director of the “Smart City Unit” at Tobit Software AG, gave the delegation insights into the use of this app. For example, innovative solutions such as a small supermarket without staff, where payment is made via the app and a QR code, and a digital hotel with app-based check-in functionality.
Modern digital solutions
Ahaus has made a name for itself as Germany's smartest municipality - an award that is no coincidence. The city even offers a Smart City Tour, allowing those interested to experience life in this forward-thinking environment up close. In addition to the SuperApp, there is also real-time information about parking space utilization, which is integrated into the app, as well as the introduction of a digital city voucher that can be used when shopping or to pay fines. Digitalstadt-Ahaus.de emphasizes that these digital offerings not only increase comfort, but also sustainably improve the quality of life of residents.
By looking outside the box, the Baunatal delegation quickly realized that Ahaus has a good hand when it comes to digitalization. The consistent implementation of digital solutions impressed the members of the delegation, and the impressions they collected will now be incorporated into their considerations for developing their own city app for Baunatal. This could also strengthen the connection between citizens and the city administration by using AI agents and QR codes to improve communication.
It seems that the future will be digital – and Baunatal could soon follow suit, inspired by the innovative approaches that are already a reality in Ahaus. It remains exciting to see how developments will develop in your own city.
