Parking fees in Feldberg are exploding: up to 400% more expensive!

Parking fees in the popular Feldberg lake landscape, Mecklenburg Lake District, are increasing dramatically. The local council has unanimously decided that from next year one hour of parking at the Luzinhalle and the Amtwerder bathing area will cost two euros instead of the previous 50 cents. There is another price shock, especially for mobile homes and caravans: the daily fee at the Am Weidendamm car park doubles from 10 euros to 20 euros.

Criminal mandates and their consequences abroad

While German drivers have to prepare for higher parking fees, they are also threatened with unexpected demands for money abroad. Anyone who parked without a parking disc could quickly receive a fine of up to 72 euros finanzfrage.net reported. Registration offices and parking enforcement agencies often send intrusive warnings based on foreign violations. Drivers should know that there is currently no legal basis for collecting these foreign fines, except in Austria, where special agreements exist.

However, this could soon change with the EU's planned framework decision on the enforcement of fines for administrative offenses in other member states. This means that German drivers also have to expect parking ticket reminders from other EU countries. The EU plans to make it easier to enforce fines, so it will be crucial to keep an eye on the legal profession to avoid getting into trouble for alleged parking offenses in foreign countries.
