Communities in the Upper Murr Valley strengthen registry offices through new agreement!
On October 3, 2025, the municipalities in the Upper Murr Valley signed an important public law agreement on the transfer of tasks in the civil status system in the event of representation. The communities involved are the city of Murrhardt and the communities of Sulzbach an der Murr, Großerlach and Spiegelberg. This collaboration aims to ensure mutual representation between registry offices in cases such as vacation or illness.
This agreement gives the registrars of the participating municipalities the opportunity to represent each other without the need for separate agreements. This regulation creates flexibility and promotes mutual support between the registry offices, which is particularly important for smaller communities. The mayors of Spiegelberg and Großerlach emphasized the importance of this support, while the mayor of Sulzbach an der Murr emphasized the strengthening of task fulfillment.
Agreement details
The signed agreement states that the employees of the registry offices will remain with their respective municipalities and are subject to their instructions. Nevertheless, if they are unable to do so, they can take on tasks for neighboring communities. Another important point is that each municipality retains its own registry office district, so that no common district is formed. The mayor of Murrhardt thanked the neighboring communities for their support in the past.
Personal status law in focus
In this context, personal status law also comes into play, which includes a complex set of rules from various legal areas, including family law, private international law and nationality law. A comprehensive handbook on civil status law presents these regulations systematically and is a valuable aid for registrars and their supervisory authorities. It contains practical examples, samples as well as a collection of references and sources that are helpful for daily work.
The handbook covers all aspects of civil status law and is designed to serve as a teaching and reference work both during and after training. It offers practical working aids for maintaining civil status registers, which include birth, marriage, civil partnership and death registers. This comprehensive presentation is particularly important for those who work in administration and are often confronted with complex issues.
The signing of this agreement is a step in the right direction to promote efficiency and support between the registry offices in the Upper Murr Valley and shows a strong sense of community among the municipalities involved.
