Prohibition of street trade in Berlin's central districts: Cleanliness and traffic safety in focus

keep the public space in the middle and in the large zoo

The streets of Berlin are full of life and movement, especially in the central districts of Mitte and Tiergarten. But with the hustle and bustle, undesirable side effects also come: garbage that dirty the public space and stresses the environment. The district councilor for order, environment, nature, streets and green spaces, Christopher Schriner, took measures to counteract this.

ban on mobile trade in the historical center

Small packaging, bottles and cigarette butts lying around on sidewalks and parks are not only an aesthetic problem, but also a burden on the environment. Cleaning these waste requires time and money that could be better invested in other urban projects.

traffic safety guarantee

In addition to the pollution of public space, traffic safety is also important. It must be guaranteed in particular at heavily frequented places such as the government district and the large zoo. The district office has therefore decided to ban mobile trade in these areas to prevent accidents and impairments.

Welcome to the middle - but without street trading

The historic center of Berlin, from the television tower to the S-Bahn station Tiergarten, should remain clean and free of annoying trade. Tourists and locals are invited to enjoy the central areas without being harassed by flying dealers. The ban on mobile trade serves both the protection of public space and the preservation of the attractiveness of the city.

fines for violations

The Mitte district office makes it clear that violations of the ban on mobile trade are consistently punished. Finning of up to 10,000 euros can be imposed if retailers violate the regulations. In green areas there is a fine of up to 5,000 euros. It is due to each individual to contribute to the cleanliness and safety of the city.

FAZIT

The measures taken is intended to improve the quality of life in the central districts of Berlin and maintain the attractiveness of the city. Clean roads and well -kept green areas help to ensure that all residents and visitors in Berlin can enjoy the beauty of the city to the fullest.
