A resident parking area is a clearly defined area for which residents can apply for a resident parking permit for their vehicle. With this ID you are exempt from the maximum parking time and parking fees in this area.

If you use third-party vehicles, rental vehicles or company vehicles, you also have the option of applying for a resident parking permit. Rental and changing company vehicles must be clearly identifiable as such (name of the respective company).
