OVERNIGHT PARKING IS LEGAL IN GERMANY
Margaret Williamson January 2015
In December 2014 we received the following useful
information from motorhomer Heide Haake in Herne, Germany:
“Of course it's nice to stay on the affordable 'Stellplätze' in Germany, because you
definitely feel welcome there. But you are allowed legally to park for one
night on any public car park or space (Parkplatz)
marked 'P'. Reason - to gain fitness for driving further ('zur Wiederherstellung der Fahrtüchtigkeit'). Parking is not Camping. If parking
is not allowed, there will be a sign. If there is not a 'no parking' sign - it is
allowed!”
Thank you Heide for confirming this in such a clear and logical way. We had read a similar
claim in a German motorhome magazine. If only the British were so
accommodating!
