If you are a resident, trader, freelancer, institution or association in the Weserstadion residents' zone, you can apply for a special permit to enter the Weserstadion residents' zone during a major event.

Basic information
The residents' zone is intended to prevent parking search traffic and parking by stadium visitors in the area close to the Weser Stadium and thus relieve residents of this traffic.
Access to the zone is controlled by the police and a private security service.
Where and when is it closed?
The area between Stader Straße and Lüneburger Straße as well as Am Schwarzen Meer/Am Hulsberg and Osterdeich is closed to cars.
Motorcycles are exempt from the closure.
The closure of the residents' zone begins 2.5 hours before a major event at the Weserstadion and ends shortly after the start of the event.
The Osterdeich remains closed between Lübecker Straße and Stader Straße until shortly after the end of the event.
This regulation applies to major events at the Weserstadion.
Only residents and local businesses, freelancers, institutions and clubs in the Weserstadion residents' zone may enter the residents' zone with an exemption permit.
You can apply for such a special permit from the Bremen Department of Roads and Traffic.
Requirements
All residents, tradespeople, freelancers, institutions or clubs in the Weserstadion resident zone who can prove their place of residence/registered office and who own a vehicle or have one provided for their use are eligible.
