Green spaces (parks and gardens)
-
Basic information
The public order service patrols Bremen’s green spaces and monitors whether (dangerous) dogs are kept on a leash, checks for (illegal) littering, ensures that barbecues are held only in designated areas, and prevents people from breaking off tree branches or trimming hedges, shrubs, and other woody plants, unless authorized by the City of Bremen.
Requirements
You can find out what is permitted in green spaces and what rules to follow, for example, in the guidelines on dog ownership or public barbecuing.
-
Procedure
Security staff provide guidance, issue warnings (whether free of charge or subject to a fee), report administrative offenses, and take measures to prevent general hazards.
The public order service can collect a fine in cash on the spot or file a report of an administrative offense. In this case, you will receive a letter from the fines office.
