Filming authorisation - urban public green spaces

Anyone wishing to make photo, film or sound recordings in an urban public green space requires a special permit.

Urban public green spaces are, for example, landscaped parks and green areas, recreational and leisure areas, sports and play areas, sunbathing lawns and children's playgrounds. They are usually signposted as public green spaces.

Prerequisites

Every special use of a municipal green space must be approved by the Building Department - Horticulture (as the landowner). An exemption licence can only be granted once written approval has been received from the Building Department.

Required documents

  • Fully completed application form (available for download)
  • Site plan or hand sketch (as specified in the application form)
  • MVAS certificate for the person named in the application and responsible on site

Duration & Costs

Processing time

  • We need 15 working days to process the submitted application (by e-mail, fax, post or in person by prior appointment). The processing time already includes the consultation with the municipal building department. A longer processing time is possible in individual cases.
  • The processing time is shortened if a permit has already been issued and you only need to extend or postpone the period.
  • It is not possible to take the authorisation with you immediately.

Fees

  • see list of fees under "Forms and downloads"
  • We only calculate the total fees after the entire filming time has elapsed so that any changes to the number of days or closures can be taken into account. Therefore, please contact us after filming or if filming has not been completed.
