The town of Brandis

Ideally situated

The direct link to the A14 autobahn (exits Kleinpösna, and Ammelshain) and the B6 trunk road (in ) connects Brandis to Dresden and Prague in the east, north and south to the A9 autobahn via Leipzig and Leipzig/ Halle Airport as well as westwards to the A38 autobahn. Brandis (together with Naunhof) lies on the inter-regional axis of Leipzig-Dresden and is subsequently a centre of supply, commerce and services for the surrounding area. This location means that the town of Brandis will continue to play a comparatively central role in the region in the future.

Economic climate

In the neighbouring industrial estate (Beucha/ Brandis) HOCHTIEF, Hörmann KG, rff-Rohr Flansch Fitting and a logistics unit of ALDI have settled, together with numerous small and medium-sized enterprises. It is one of the few industrial estates in the region to have utilisation of over 90%. Brandis lies in the flourishing Leipzig/Halle economic region and benefits from inter-municipal co- operation on the development of commercial sites in the region. This enables interested companies to achieve the well-advised and sustainable planning of their projects.

Energy policy

The town of Brandis is a "100ee starter region" renewable energy area and sees itself as a supporter and promoter of the energy transition. In the Waldpolenz Business Park there is already a photovoltaic energy park (52 MW) and a bio natural gas feed-in station (3MW), operated by juwi AG.

A warm welcome

Brandis is a town with a decisive policy-making style and open administration that involves its citizens in decisions, providing them with targeted advice. The much-vaunted cosmopolitan character of the Saxons combines with their famed sociability here, making newcomers rapidly feel welcome.

Saxon Innovation Municipality 2014-2016

Brandis has been a Saxon Innovation Municipality since September 2014. In the period to 2016 multiple administration-modernising instruments are set to be introduced, with the goal of sustained use for these. Brandis aims to create a modern administrative structure with proximity to its citizens, making it a pioneer for other Saxon municipalities. The town council already works paper-free, whilst administrative processes are being revised to make work more professional. With regard to business development and the marketing of commercial sites, modern administration plays a decisive role. Benefits arising from this include the faster processing of applications and expert support of plans on the part of the town administration.
