The multifaceted City of Mannheim is the centre of economic, ecological, cultural and social processes. Continuously changing demands on the city and new functions require corresponding reactions in the urban development field. The urban renewal and associated urban development promotion programme have proven to be a flexible and sustainable urban development instrument for the stabilisation and development of an area through several coordinated individual measures.
For many years now, the City of Mannheim has part of its duties performed by municipal enterprises or undertakings. The spectrum of tasks of these companies and municipal undertakings ranges from the supply of energy and water as well as the sewage and waste disposal over the public transport system, social housing and the health care system to important cultural and educational offerings.
The enterprises and municipal undertakings of the City of Mannheim present themselves on the following pages.

Mannheim is a multicultural city where almost every third resident has a migration background. Therefore, intercultural competences are becoming more and more important for the service provider “city administration”.
In search of committed and motivated employees, the City of Mannheim also wants to get young people from migrant families interested in the diverse and varied fields of work at the city administration.
That is the motto of the municipal music school in Mannheim and it is the programme of our work.
Active singing and making music has great value in itself which more than justifies dealing with it. The fact that singing and making music has more effects than just the pleasure in musical action has been known for thousands of years.
Apart from schools and state and municipal authorities, the services of the city media centre can be used by youth welfare and adult education institutions, youth groups, clubs, associations and private persons as well as other legal entities presenting films, photographs and sound recordings on a non-professional basis.
