The number of registered passenger cars is growing and space in cities is becoming scarce. Many city councils are therefore also increasing the fees for parking, fines and resident parking permits. And will probably continue to do so in the future.
Stuttgart, Hamburg and Düsseldorf earn the most money from parked cars among the 16 state capitals. This is reported by WELT AM SONNTAG with reference to a survey in all federal states. The income in the three cities was around 40 euros per inhabitant last year.
It was not even 20 euros per inhabitant in Erfurt, Hanover, Saarbrücken, Mainz and Bremen. In absolute figures, the cities of Berlin (114 million euros), Hamburg (75 million euros) and Munich (53 million euros) were ahead in terms of parking revenue.

The figures include not only income from parking machines and resident parking permits, but also fines paid by illegal parkers. Of the total income of all 16 state capitals amounting to 355 million euros in the previous year, 48 percent was attributable to classic parking fees, 45 percent to fines for illegal parking and seven percent to resident parking permits.
Many cities are assuming that income will continue to rise in the coming years. “Public space is an increasingly scarce commodity,” said Stuttgart, the revenue leader, when asked by WELT AM SONNTAG.

There they want to increase the parking fees in the city center, the “City” tariff zone, by a further 20 percent on January 1, 2024. Instead of the previous 4.60 euros, you will have to pay 5.60 euros if you drive into the valley basin by car. Basically, according to the city, the amount of the fees is based on the tariffs for local public transport.
