Who is responsible

Responsibility (Zuständigkeit) for parking space management lies with the Bezirke (districts). Handwerkerparkausweise (tradesperson parking permits) can be applied for in all districts. Districts that do not operate parking space management forward the application to those districts that do operate parking space management and can process the application and issue Handwerkerparkausweise (tradesperson parking permits).
