Special use of roads
If you want to use public roads, paths or squares beyond the usual common use, you need a special use permit. This applies, for example, to construction site containers, outdoor catering, advertising displays, events or other uses in public street space.
You can apply for the Special Use Permit quickly and completely online via the Wirtschafts-Service-Portal.NRW - without an appointment and without the way to the office.
General information on the special use of roads
In Germany, there is freedom of trade, so you do not need a special permit for the exercise of most trades.
Only in certain sectors, a special permit is required, e.g. for the special use of roads. If you want to use public roads in a special way, this is a special use. A special use exists, for example, if you want to attach advertising posters, make sidewalk crossings or block a parking space for your move. For such a special use, you need a special use permit.
Events, weekly and special markets
In Germany, there is freedom of trade, so you do not need a special permit for the exercise of most trades. Only in special industries, a special permission is required.
Special permits are required for participation in events and weekly and special markets. An extension of the blocking period, for example, must be requested and approved. This also applies to participation in events and markets or to the holding of events with animals.
