Building completely digitally: Geislingen is introducing ViBa-BW from November 1st!

Big changes are coming for future construction projects in Geislingen an der Steige. From November 1, 2025, the city will leave its mountains of paper behind and** process all building applications exclusively digitally via the state-wide system “Virtual Building Authority Baden-Württemberg” (ViBa-BW)**. This is an important step towards the digitalization of building law administration, which should significantly simplify the process for builders, architects and administration. Filstalexpress reports that…

The new system makes it possible to submit and process all construction law procedures online. From the application to the building permit, everything is done digitally and transparently. In addition to the simplified building permit process, this also includes knowledge of preliminary building requests and applications for exceptions and exemptions. With ViBa-BW, processing should not only be faster, but also more comprehensible and efficient for everyone involved.

Uniform solution for everyone

The Virtual Building Authority is part of a comprehensive digital plan that was approved by the Baden-Württemberg state parliament in November 2023. The changes to the state building regulations at the time are considered exemplary and were put into effect in time for the mandatory digital submission of building applications from January 1, 2025. In this way, the city center of Geislingen will not only be modernized, but also made fit for the future. The Ministry of Regional Development and Housing explains...

A core element of ViBa-BW is the “one-for-all principle (EfA)”, which drives software development taking existing systems into account, such as the “digital building application” from Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. In this way, the actors benefit from a uniform end-to-end solution that simplifies comparisons and collaboration.

Practical support

Builders and architects can easily submit their application via the city of Geislingen an der Steige's website, www.geislingen.de. If you have any questions, you can easily reach the relevant authorities at baurecht@geislingen.de. This new digitalization process not only represents progress in building application management, but also includes citizens more closely in the processes.

With the introduction of ViBa-BW, Geislingen an der Steige is setting an example for a modern, digital future in the construction industry. It remains exciting to see how these changes will affect the local building culture and what new projects can be realized in the coming years. Whether private builders or commercial investors – everyone now has the opportunity to take the first step towards their new home or their next building project with just one click.
