Basic information
Anyone wishing to commercially organize shows of persons on their business premises or make their business premises available for such events requires a permit, which may be issued for a limited period of time.
If a temporary permit has been issued, an extension can be applied for. The same conditions apply for this extension as for the initial granting of the permit.
Requirements
The requirements for renewing the permit are
- You must have the necessary reliability for the business operation
- The shows must not be contrary to public morals
- The business operation must not be contrary to the public interest with regard to its local location or the use of the premises, for example if it gives rise to fears of harmful effects on the environment within the meaning of the Federal Immission Control Act or other significant disadvantages, dangers or nuisances for the general public.
-
Procedure
The application must be submitted to the competent authority in writing or via the online procedure provided.
You must provide the required information and submit any documents that may be relevant to the assessment of your application.
The permit may be issued for a limited period or subject to conditions if this is necessary to protect the general public, guests, residents of the business premises or neighboring properties. Conditions may also be added, amended or supplemented at a later date.
Once you have submitted the application and all documents are complete, the competent authority will check whether you meet all the requirements.
If you meet all the requirements, you will receive the permit.
You may only start working once you have received the permit.
