Registry office

The registry office, which has been located in the former post office right next to the historic town hall since 2014, is responsible for many life situations. Whether it's a marriage, birth or death, this is where you can get your documents and papers for so-called "personal status cases".

You can tie the knot and we will provide you with the various wedding venues.

>> Wedding venue "Alte Post"
>> Wedding venue Hoflößnitz
>> Wedding venue Belvedere, Wackerbarth Castle
