Special Use of Public Roads - Applying to Install Art Objects

Straßensondernutzung - Aufstellen von Kunstobjekten beantragen
Machine translation of the German page, 2026-09-15. The German original is binding.
The Straßenbaubehörde (road construction authority) permits, upon application, the placement of art objects on public street land, provided no public interests conflict with it. Whether this is the case is assessed on a highly individual basis for this type of special use (Sondernutzung) and depends strongly on the location applied for. Factors that play a role include, among others, traffic-related, urban planning, and heritage protection considerations.
