Overview
- The site at www.einfach-machen.gov.de lets citizens, businesses and public employees describe hurdles and submit concrete fixes in a seven-click form across categories such as energy, health, mobility, taxes and migration.
- The Digital Ministry says entries are initially classified by a semi-automated process by topic, urgency and relevance before being routed for follow-up under high security standards.
- Developed jointly by the Digital, Economy and Labour ministries, the pilot launched with costs in the very low single‑digit millions through early 2026.
- The government plans to relocate the platform to the Federal Statistical Office so it can function as a central, empirically led hub for bureaucracy reports.
- Industry group Bitkom welcomed the portal as a useful starting point but cautioned that many rules sit with states and municipalities, requiring legislative or administrative follow‑through beyond the federal level.
