Versammlung anmelden

Anyone wishing to organize a public assembly in the open air must register it with the competent authority 48 hours before it is announced (= invitation of participants or announcement via various media).

• If you wish to organize an assembly, you must register this with the competent authority at least 48 hours before the event is announced.
• Once your registration has been received by the competent assembly authority, it will be forwarded to the local regulatory authority responsible for the place of assembly, to the police and, if necessary, to other authorities to be involved.
• These authorities involved can then comment on your planned assembly.
• Cooperation talks are regularly held in advance with the authorities involved (police, public order offices) and you as the organizer regarding the procedure and implementation of the assembly.

• For each meeting, you must have a person who has registered the meeting and appoint a meeting leader.
• The registering person can be an individual, an organization or an association.
• The chair of the meeting must be an individual.
• This individual is responsible for the orderly conduct of the assembly and is the contact person for the police and the assembly authorities during the assembly.

• The registration is not bound to any form.
• Regardless of whether you submit the registration online, in writing or verbally, the following information must be included:
  • Name and address of the organizer of the notifying person (private individual or organization)
  • Name and address, telephone and fax/email of the person chairing the meeting
  • Description of the planned course of the assembly according to place, time and topic
  • In the case of processions/demonstrations, the planned route
  • If the assembly leader makes use of the assistance of stewards, their deployment must be notified to the competent authority, stating the number of persons expected to be deployed for this purpose.

If you would like to submit your registration online:

• You do not need to register or create an account.
• You fill in the mandatory fields of the online service.
• You will receive a confirmation e-mail to the e-mail address you provided.

If you wish to submit the application by post:

• You put your registration in writing, e.g. using a sample template, and check your details for completeness.
• You then send the application by post or submit it locally to the responsible authority.

Then:

• The competent authority processes your registration and forwards it to the local authorities (police, health authority, regulatory authority) with comments if necessary; they provide feedback with possible indications of restrictive orders or threats to public safety that may justify such orders or a ban.
• As a rule, a cooperation meeting is held between the responsible authority/police and the organizer.
• Feedback from the authorities is examined separately and any cooperation at the place of assembly is decided.
• A confirmation of notification is then issued and sent back to the applicant.
• The application will be confirmed or a decision will be issued with restrictive orders or a ban. No fees will be charged.
• Notification at short notice up to 1 hour before the start of the assembly is possible.
• The responsible authority must be informed immediately of any significant changes to the details of the assembly. The responsible event management must be known for the confirmation of the notification or the notice of conditions.

Notice of the meeting must be given 48 hours prior to the announcement of the meeting.
