Lindau introduces digital parking service: No more barriers and tickets!

Parking in Lindau will get a new look from the end of January 2026! The city is introducing a digital, barrier-free parking system that not only saves time, but also significantly increases convenience for drivers. From now on it's time for license plate recognition instead of taking a ticket. Loud Allgäu newspaper For example, digital license plate recognition will be introduced at Karl-Bever-Platz (P3) in front of the Inselbrücke and the new technologies will also be used in the Inselhalle car park (P4).

But that's just the beginning. At the beginning of February, the regulations will be extended to the parking areas on Bleicheweg (P2) and the “Park & ​​Ride” parking lot at Reutiner Bahnhof (P5). The city also plans to make the Blauwiese parking lot (P1) part of the new system. With this change, city officials hope that park management will be significantly simplified and the burden on residents and visitors will be relieved.

Comfort and flexibility for drivers

The new method eliminates the hassle of waiting at barriers. Instead, scanners are used to record the license plates of vehicles as they drive in and out. An automated calculation of the parking time will ensure that a ticket is no longer necessary. According to a report by New Facts Drivers can pay parking fees both on site using pay machines and online or via the “EasyPark” app up to 24 hours after parking.

The switch to digital parking space management is not only an advance in technology, but also a step towards sustainability. The new system supports the efficient use of existing parking spaces and – as part of intelligent parking space management – ​​helps to minimize environmental impact. <%a href='https://www.fairparken.com/de-DE/digitales-parkraummanagement'>FairParken% emphasizes that modern camera technologies and mobile payment systems can significantly reduce CO2 emissions compared to conventional barrier systems.

Data protection and transparency

A crucial aspect of the new regulation is data protection. The registration of license plates is completely compliant with data protection regulations. Data is only used to calculate parking time and is deleted after 48 hours if there is no parking violation. In the event of violations, the necessary data will be temporarily stored, but only in Germany. This ensures that the privacy of the users is maintained.

For residents, existing annual parking permits will be automatically transferred to the new system. Anyone who needs a new parking ticket can in future purchase it via the Mobility Hub Parkservice GmbH online shop. Lindau residents who want to unlock their vehicle for parking can contact the responsible office by email.

Overall, digital parking in Lindau not only makes things easier for users, but also contributes to greener urban development. Drivers will thank you when they can find their place without any hassle in the future. A step into the future that makes the cityscape a little smarter!
