This includes the following parking spaces:
- Parking spaces with an additional sign "wheelchair user symbol" (so-called disabled parking spaces),
- Restricted stopping ban (up to three hours, the arrival time must be shown on a parking disk),
- No parking zones (beyond the permitted parking time),
- time-limited parking spaces (beyond the permitted time),
- pedestrian areas where loading and unloading is permitted for specific times (during loading times),
- in parking lots for residents (up to three hours),
- in places with parking meters and parking ticket machines without charge and time limit,
- in designated traffic-calmed areas outside the marked areas without obstructing through traffic.

More information
The parking permit must be clearly visible behind the windshield. The original of the permit must always be carried.
The parking permit is valid throughout Europe.
An exemption permit can also be issued for the above-mentioned groups of people who do not have a driving license, which is then displayed in the respective vehicle.
A personal disabled parking space (home, workplace) can be applied for separately. In contrast to the parking permit, there is no legal entitlement to an individual disabled parking space.
A parking space can be reserved individually for a specific person with a severe disability if

- a parking space is not available within a reasonable distance,
- there is no stopping ban and a temporary special parking right (e.g. for the workplace) is not sufficient.

What to do if the parking permit is about to expire?
The parking authorization can be extended as long as the severely disabled pass is valid, but for a maximum of 5 years. For this purpose, an informal application with a copy of the severely disabled person's card (front and back) and a passport photo is sufficient.
-
What can I do if I can no longer go to the photographer for health reasons?
If your severely handicapped ID card bears the note "also valid without photo", we will accept this as well.
-
Can I also assign another person to apply for parking relief?
Yes, then please give a power of attorney to the person concerned.
-
What should I do if I have lost my parking permit or it has been stolen?
After you have filed a loss report with us, you will receive a replacement without complaint. Furthermore, we then require a new passport photo. This does not incur any fees.
-
The application can be submitted online or by fax - does the passport photo have to be forwarded by mail or can it be sent by mail attachment?
The passport photo must always be submitted as an original.
