Driving by Car to Karlsruhe City Centre: Note on the Clean Air Zone
On 1 January 2009, the city of Karlsruhe implemented a clean air action plan to reduce the level of particulates in the city’s air. Based on stipulations set forth in German and EU law, this plan only allows motor vehicles equipped with certified emission control devices to enter a clearly identified clean air zone within the city. All vehicles within this zone must display a sticker on their windshields indicating that they are permitted to be there. Drivers of vehicles without this sticker must pay a fine of €63.50 and will receive one point on their driving record. This regulation also affects our convention centre locations (Stadthalle, Schwarzwaldhalle, Konzerthaus, Gartenhalle und Festplatz), as well as the Europahalle. The trade fair centre is not affected by this regulation.
If you need to drive in the clean air zone, we suggest you buy a sticker at one of the following issuing offices: motor vehicle registration office, TÜV, DEKRA, GTÜ, repair shops which conduct emission inspections and city hall). You’ll need to show your motor vehicle registration certificate.
