🇬🇧 Welcome to Spiekeroog-Radar

Spiekeroog’s local politics — transparent and accessible.

Spiekeroog-Radar is an independent, volunteer civic-tech project. It collects public data from the municipal council information system of Spiekeroog — meetings, proposals, decisions — and makes them searchable and understandable.
