Quick summary
GE-meldet is a free iPhone app created by GKD-EL to simplify reporting municipal problems in Gelsenkirchen. It helps residents notify city services about routine urban issues — for example, grimy signage, piles of discarded trash, or stubborn leaf buildup — using their smartphones for a fast, straightforward report.
How the reporting process works
- Send the completed report to the city with a tap so administrators receive the notice right away.
- Add a clear photo taken with your phone to illustrate the issue.
- Choose the appropriate problem category to help route the case to the right department.
- Enter the location and a short description so crews can find and assess the site.
Benefits for users and the city
By combining location, images, and categorization, the app delivers near real-time notifications to municipal staff. That flow helps the administration respond more quickly and keeps neighborhood problems from lingering. The app’s mobile-first design makes it easy for citizens to participate in maintaining public spaces.
