Long queues in front of citizens' offices, endless waiting for building permits or vehicle registrations - dealing with authorities is bureaucratic and tedious. Many citizens have the impression that things are getting worse and worse. Are German administrations on the verge of collapse? More exciting documentaries & reports in the media library: https://www.ardmediathek.de/dokus SWR surveyed authorities in the southwest. The results, which were evaluated by the University of Konstanz, are worrying. Stress and burnouts have increased dramatically. Although permanent positions have been created, many government positions remain vacant. At the same time, employees in offices are being attacked more and more frequently. Are offices and authorities still able to cope with the increasing demands? For the SWR focus topic "Office at the limit", Claus Hanischdörfer and Geli Hensolt go in search of clues in the SWR broadcast area. They look at the causes and behind the scenes of the office misery. Using many examples, they show the serious consequences when the smallest unit of the state reaches its limits. This documentary from the SWR STORY series has the original title: Office at the limit? The state on the verge of collapse?
