Mobile bike stand in front of a shop

Description

If you want to set up a mobile bicycle stand directly in front of your shop, you generally do not require a special use permit under the following conditions:

• Third parties must be able to park their bicycles at the bicycle racks provided. If you wish to park your own bicycles for hire, sale or before and after a repair, you must submit an application in accordance with the special use guidelines.
• A width of at least 1.60 metres remains free on the pavement, in some cases considerably more (depending on the volume of pedestrians) and the bicycle stand does not obstruct the view.
• The bicycle stand is located directly in front of your shop on the façade.
• The footprint is less than one square metre.
• The projection is no more than one metre.
• Depending on the traffic situation, the maximum height is 1.50 metres.
• The bicycle stand must be positioned parallel to the building wall.
• It must be possible to attach single-track bicycles so that they cannot tip over or roll away.
• The bicycle stand must not be firmly attached to the ground.
• Advertising with the business owner's own name, company name or address is permitted if the sign does not protrude beyond the side of the stand and has a maximum area of 0.5 square metres and is no higher than 0.5 metres.
• Other advertising is not permitted.

Railings for bicycles attached horizontally to the building façade do not require a special use permit. However, they may only be attached if the safety and ease of traffic, in particular free passage widths, are guaranteed and no advertising is attached.

If certain requirements are not met as described above, we will check on a case-by-case basis whether authorisation is possible or whether the installation must be completely omitted.

Anyone wishing to set up a mobile bicycle stand facing the street rather than against the wall of the building requires a permit.

• Third parties must be able to park their bicycles on the bicycle stands provided. If you want to park your own bicycles for hire, sale or before and after a repair, you must submit an application in accordance with the special use guidelines.
• The safe distance from the kerb or cycle path is at least 0.40 metres.
• A width of at least 1.60 metres remains free on the pavement, in individual cases considerably more (depending on the volume of pedestrians) and the bicycle stand does not obstruct the view.
• Depending on the traffic situation, the maximum height is 1.50 metres.
• The bicycle stand must not be firmly attached to the ground.
• It must be possible to connect single-track bicycles so that they cannot tip over or roll away.
• Advertising with the business owner's own name, company name or address is permitted if the sign does not protrude beyond the side of the stand and has a maximum area of 0.5 square metres and is no higher than 0.5 metres. Depending on the street group, special usage fees of between EUR 6.50 and EUR 30 per year are charged per square metre of advertising space or part thereof.
• Other advertising is not permitted.

The townscape must not be impaired. In the case of listed or ensemble-protected buildings, the Lower Monument Protection Authority must give its consent.
The district committee responsible for the district in question decides on the bicycle stands. Only after the district committee has made its decision will you receive written authorisation or rejection from the district inspectorate of the district administration department.
