Agency of car registrations in Tempelhof-Schöneberg: A new trend in mobility

A remarkable change in vehicle use can be observed in the Tempelhof-Schöneberg district. The level of motorization, i.e. the number of private cars per 1,000 inhabitants, has reached a low point. Currently there are only about 338 cars on 1,000 people, which has been the lowest value since 2015. This decline takes place over a period of time in which there is generally an increase in car registrations in Germany, which makes this development particularly remarkable.

An important aspect of this change is the increasing acceptance of electric vehicles. While in 2021 only 0.77 percent of private cars were operated electrically in the district, this proportion increased to around 1.6 percent in 2023. This shows a gradual but significant trend towards more environmentally friendly traffic options.

The district councilor Dr. Ellenbeck commented on the development: "We have made the U-turn in Tempelhof-Schöneberg. After many years of climbing, the number of registered cars has been falling for two years." This decline not only leads to fewer traffic jams, but also creates space for more green areas as well as for foot and bike traffic. The district's strategy includes a modern mobility mix that is intended to increase the satisfaction and security of the citizens.

Thanks to initiatives such as Jelbi, which offer innovative mobility solutions, public transport is promoted and dependence on the car is reduced. These measures are part of an increasingly important rethink, which is intended to improve the quality of life in cities.

The development in Tempelhof-Schöneberg is not isolated, but reflects a broader trend that is observed in many urban rooms: the search for more environmentally friendly, sustainable mobility. The reduction of car numbers not only relieves traffic, but also the air quality and quality of life in the affected cities.

In summary, it can be stated that the decline in the level of motorization in the Tempelhof-Schöneberg district is a positive sign of future urban development. A focus on alternative mobility solutions could help to effectively tackle the traffic problems in urban areas and at the same time to protect the environment.
