Energy, food, fuel – many things have become more expensive in recent years. In many German cities also parking.
However, that is not enough for the German Environmental Aid. “German cities allow parked cars to block public space at cheap prices or even for free,” criticized the DUH in a press release.
A parking ticket must cost at least as much as a bus or train ticket per hour – in most cities that is around 3 euros.
To underline their claim, the Nature conservation organization conducted an extensive study on parking fees (costs per hour) in German cities.

BILD has the figures for the 10 largest German cities. The big ranking!
