If you have more household waste than will fit in the black residual waste bin, you can also dispose of it using a refuse bag (capacity approx. 80 litres). The bin bag must bear the Barnim district logo and can be placed next to the residual waste bin on the day of collection. Bin bags without this logo will not be collected by the waste management company.
Waste bags are available from the Citizens’ Information Desk at Eberswalde Town Hall during the Citizens’ Office opening hours. Please refer to the Barnim district’s waste collection calendar for further collection points.
Since 1 January 2022, light packaging (LVP) has been collected in the Barnim district in yellow bins, which have replaced the yellow bags. Consequently, yellow bags are no longer issued.
Charges
The charges are set by Kreiswerke Barnim.

Should you in future require proof of the birth of a child born abroad who was entered in your family register before 31 December 2008, we will provide you with photocopies of the former family register.

Section 8 of the Brandenburg Dog Owners’ Ordinance specifies which dogs are considered dangerous. Anyone wishing to train or handle a dangerous dog, with the exception of dogs as defined in Section 8(2), requires a licence from the local regulatory authority. The licence (together with a red tag for the dog) is granted upon submission of the relevant documentation.
To this end, proof must be provided of the necessary expertise to keep and handle such a dog. This proof must be provided to the local regulatory authority on the basis of a proficiency test conducted by an expert. In addition, the applicant must demonstrate the necessary reliability to keep and handle dogs. This is done by submitting a certificate of good conduct in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Central Register Act, as well as proof that the dog has been microchipped.
The keeping of dogs as defined in Section 8(2) of the Brandenburg Dog Ordinance (HundehV Bbg) (American Pit Bull Terriers, Bull Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers and Tosa Inu) has been prohibited in the State of Brandenburg since 1 October 2004, unless a licence has been granted.
However, in the case of dangerous dogs within the meaning of Section 8(3), the owner may demonstrate that the dog does not exhibit increased combativeness, aggressiveness, ferocity or other characteristics comparable in their effect towards humans and animals. The relevant certificate confirming that the dog does not exhibit such characteristics must be issued by an expert and submitted to the Public Order Office.
Furthermore, all dogs with a height at the withers of at least 40 centimetres or a weight of at least 20 kilograms must be registered by the owner with the local public order authority without delay. Proof of suitability to keep and handle dogs, as well as proof that the dog has been microchipped, must also be provided.
Attention dog owners!
Anyone walking dogs on streets or in public areas must ensure that the dogs do not cause damage or leave a mess. Any mess (dog faeces) must be cleared up immediately. Suitable materials (e.g. bags) must be carried to collect the dog faeces.

German nationals require a passport to enter certain countries. Each destination country determines which travel documents it recognises.
Applications for a passport must be made in person. When collecting your passport, you may be represented by an authorised person. Existing passports, including any that have expired, must be presented.
Children require their own document. For minors, the application must be made in the presence of one or both parents or legal guardians, as well as the child. If the application is made by only one parent or legal guardian, a declaration of consent from the absent parent or or credible evidence of sole custody must be provided (e.g. by means of a custody order or divorce decree).
For persons under the age of 24, the passport is valid for 6 years; after reaching the age of 24, the passport is issued with a validity of 10 years.
Since 1 November 2007, fingerprints have been taken when applying for passports; these are stored on the chip in the passport together with the personal details and the biometric photograph.
The processing time for a passport produced by the Federal Printing Office is usually around 4 weeks. In individual cases or at certain times (e.g. during holiday periods), it may take longer. The town of Eberswalde has no influence over the processing time.
You can check the status of your orderhereonline.
If you need your passport sooner, you can apply for an express passport. An additional fee of €32.00 is charged for the express passport service. The only difference is the shorter delivery time offered by the Federal Printing Office. Apart from the faster delivery, an express passport is a completely standard passport.
Theprovisional passportis generally only issued by the local Citizens’ Office in specific individual cases. If the passport – or an express passport – cannot be issued in time before the start of your journey, a provisional passport must be issued. You must provide suitable supporting documents (e.g. travel documents or flight tickets). The provisional passport is valid for one year and cannot be extended.
Please note:Entry into some countries is not permitted with a provisional passport. Please check with the Foreign Office in advance.
The loss and subsequent recovery of a lost passport, provisional passport or child’s passport must be reported to the Citizens’ Office without delay.

The Mediation Centre in Eberswalde offers out-of-court dispute resolution. An agreement reached before an arbitrator is binding. Civil disputes (e.g. between neighbours) or criminal matters (e.g. insults, trespass, damage to property, etc.) can be negotiated.

Once one party to the dispute has submitted an application to the relevant mediator, both parties are summoned to a mediation hearing. The proceedings take place in a private meeting.
You can find out about the options for arbitration at the Legal Affairs Office of the City of Eberswalde.
Christel Buchheim is the mediator responsible for the districts of Finow, Brandenburgisches Viertel and Clara-Zetkin-Siedlung (postcode 16227). Arbitrator Axel Irrling is responsible for the districts of Eberswalde I and II, Tornow, Sommerfelde and Spechthausen (postcode 16225). Both arbitrators stand in for one another when necessary.
