View and collect a lost bike

Has your bike gone missing and would you like to see if it has been handed in to the lost property office? Then you need to make an appointment to view it.

Description

We receive the bicycles that you can view from us from the police. Only the police are authorised to accept found bicycles.

You must make an appointment online to view the bikes in the bike cellar. The inspection takes place on Tuesdays at Ruppertstraße 19, entrance A, room U1001.

We can issue you with an insurance confirmation. A police theft report is required for this.

Prerequisites

If you miss your bike, you must file a theft report with the police. The report is a mandatory requirement for us to be able to return a bike to the loser. If the bike turns out not to be stolen, you will have to withdraw the report later.

If your bicycle or similar (such as a scooter or pushchair) is with you, you can only take it with you if you provide us with proof of ownership (e.g. purchase contract, bicycle passport). If required, we can issue you with an insurance certificate.

Required documents

  • Identity card or passport
  • Collection by a third party is possible with ID, written authorisation and a copy of the ID of the person granting the authorisation.
  • Minors require a written authorisation from a parent or legal guardian
  • A theft report to issue an insurance confirmation
