Parking permit for severely disabled persons

Under certain conditions, severely disabled people are granted permission to park in places where this is not normally permitted. Eligible persons can also use the parking concessions as a passenger; a driver's license is not required.
Proof of authorization is the parking permit in conjunction with the written exemption, which explains and limits the individual exemptions.

Note: The parking permit must be clearly visible behind the windshield of the parked car and the exemption permit must always be carried.

"Blue parking permit" (EU-wide)

The "parking permit for severely disabled persons with exceptional walking disabilities, blind persons and severely disabled persons with bilateral amelia or phocomelia or with comparable functional impairments" on a blue background is issued as a European parking permit. It entitles the holder to park in parking spaces for severely disabled persons (wheelchair user symbol) in all EU member states and enables further concessions such as

- parking for up to 3 hours in restricted parking bans (signs 286, 290 StVO)
- parking in traffic-calmed areas under certain conditions
- Parking for up to 3 hours in residents' parking spaces

Requirements for the issue of a severely disabled parking permit:

• Mark "aG", or "BL"
• Severely disabled people with bilateral amelia, phocomelia or comparable functional impairments

"Orange parking permit" (nationwide)

With the orange "parking permit for special groups of severely disabled people", parking concessions such as the above examples also apply nationwide.

Please note: This permit does not entitle the holder to park in parking spaces for severely disabled persons (wheelchair symbol)

Parking concessions for special groups of severely disabled people

Persons with severe disabilities who have been certified by the pension administration as having a degree of disability (GdB) of at least 80 percent solely as a result of functional disorders of the lower limbs and/or lumbar spine and who have been awarded the "G" (significantly disabled) and "B" (need for constant accompaniment) symbols are entitled to this permit. The entitlement also applies to severely disabled persons who have been certified by the pension administration as having a degree of disability of at least 70 percent solely as a result of functional disorders of the lower limbs and/or lumbar spine and at the same time a degree of disability of at least 50 percent as a result of functional disorders of the heart or lungs and the sign "G". Furthermore, stoma patients with a double stoma (artificial bowel outlet and artificial urinary diversion) and a GdB of at least 70 percent are entitled to parking facilitation. Patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis with a GdB of at least 60 percent are also eligible.
