    A route that avoids the zone

    Amanda warns you before the zone and guides you to your arrival.

    Outline from open data, for guidance only. The signs on site always prevail.

    01

    The sticker, then the diesel class

    A Euro 5/V diesel or better, a petrol car or another engine may enter the Umweltzone, including the Mittlerer Ring, if it carries the green sticker.

    Until further notice, a Euro 4/IV diesel or older does not enter, including on the Mittlerer Ring. The green sticker does not lift that ban.

    02

    Who may still pass

    Deliveries and residents are exempt from the diesel ban by the signs. A visiting car is not in that exception.

    Other cases, trades, night work, disability or care, are in the city's exception scheme. They do not open by themselves when you arrive: the detail is in the city's exception document.

    03

    A foreign plate

    Put the green sticker on before you enter, including for a car registered elsewhere. Without it, a Euro 5 diesel or a petrol car does not enter.

    The page gives no hour when the zone switches off. Do not count on the night.

    04

    €100, €128.50 with fees

    The city writes that the ban on Euro 4/IV diesel and older is fined €100 under the current catalogue. With fees it states €128.50. No points.

    The fine notice states the amount applied.

    Where to park outside the centre

    Leave the car before the zone if it lacks the right sticker or is a Euro 4 diesel, and continue by S-Bahn or U-Bahn.
