Who we are and what we stand for

Your regional information platform

We connect people with reliable news, services, and resources from the neighborhood – independent, clear, and close by.
News

Current & relevant

Whether it's a municipal council meeting, a new bike path, or a club festival – we report on what moves your community. Without sensational headlines, but with background and context.

"Finally a source that doesn't just sensationalize, but explains."
Services

Practical & connected

From digital office hours to a handyperson pool: we bundle offers that make everyday life easier. This way, you quickly find what you need – without a long search.

"The handyperson pool really saved my afternoon."
Community

Shaping together

Our platform thrives on exchange. Here you can introduce initiatives, share events, or learn about local projects. Get involved – your idea counts.

"Since we've been on the platform, many more people come to our meetings."
Resources

Knowledge & orientation

Funding, contacts, forms – we collect what is important for clubs, volunteers, and citizens. Clearly prepared so you don't have to fight through paragraphs.

"Finally I understand which subsidies we are entitled to."

How RegionalInfo Began

From a small idea, it became a staple for regional news and services. The key milestones of our journey.

Founding and First Steps

Joseph Petz and Lena Geiger launch the portal with a clear goal: reliable information for the community beyond the headlines. The first months are marked by groundwork – technology, editorial work, and initial collaborations with local clubs.

2020

New Formats and Reach

The platform expands its offerings to include digital office hours and an event calendar. The number of regular readers rises to over 5,000. A milestone: the first collaboration with the municipality for the official announcement of meetings and projects.

2022

Award and Expansion

RegionalInfo receives the media award for local reporting. The team grows to four permanent editors. A new section "Business & Crafts" is introduced, highlighting small businesses and service providers in the region.

2024

Community Projects and Outlook

With the "Market at the Village Square" project, the team proves that journalism can also spark concrete change. The platform becomes a point of contact for citizen initiatives. A dedicated podcast format is planned for 2025.

Every step is based on feedback from our readers and collaboration with local partners.
