Schrottauto Herb, for months between Eckersdorf and Meyernberg!

A Renault, which has been parked between Eckersdorf and Meyernberg in Bayreuth for several months, is currently causing a conversation in the region. This accident vehicle does not have a vehicle license plate and is apparently a scrap car that catches up with many passers-by. As the Kurier Bayreuth city administration officially registered the vehicle on July 15, 2025 at the Office for Environmental and Climate Protection. This measure was followed by an administrative offense notification of the Bayreuth police.

But who is actually responsible for such vehicles? It is important to take the right steps into a parked car, especially if it is a scrap vehicle. As a first step, the contact to the operational center of the responsible regulatory office is recommended, as can be found on Allasterwerte.de . The message can be made both by phone and online. Defined vehicles must be reported to the citizens' office immediately, especially if they have been sold.

When is a vehicle considered deregistered?

What does "turn off" in road traffic? According to the requirements, this denotes parking of vehicles in public space without road registration or driving readiness. Deardled cars in particular must not be permanently in public parking spaces. So keepers should be prepared to expect towing costs if they leave the vehicle off longer than necessary.

Exciting about the situation in Bayreuth is that theoretically there is no limitation of the duration of the park for cars on public roads, as long as there is no signage. Nevertheless, one could think that a vehicle can be parked on privately used areas without a license plate. However, this is not allowed in company parking spaces or public areas.

The legal framework

In order to put a canceled vehicle back on the market, you need several important documents. Among other things, this includes the registration certificate I and II, an electronic insurance confirmation (EVB number) and a SEPA mandate for vehicle tax. Another point is that filed vehicles can still be driven by 11:59 p.m. on the deregistration day, which increases the likelihood that the owner may fulfill its duties in good time.

With the increase in such cases, there is also a certain need for action at the regulatory office. Because while some are pushing on a hard line, others hope that the reporting of scrap vehicles such as the Renault in Bayreuth will lead to an active solution. Perhaps in the future we can hear from a positive example where a good hand was proven to remove an old vehicle from the cityscape.
