Assemblies, processions and demonstrations are regulated by the Basic Law and the Assembly Act. Assemblies and processions must always be registered 48 hours before they are publicly announced. To do this, please use the form "Registration of a public assembly/elevator in the open air" and send it completed by post, fax or e-mail to the following address, observing the 48-hour deadline:

The police will advise you as the registrant on the details of the assembly. In the event of ambiguities or more extensive planning requirements, you will be invited by the police to a cooperation meeting in which ambiguities can be clarified and any problems solved together. Depending on the type and scope of your assembly, you may have to expect restrictions, such as the provision of stewards to ensure order within the assembly. The assembly may also be banned or dissolved if, according to the apparent circumstances, public safety or order is directly endangered during the assembly.
The form for registering an assembly or an open-air procession can be found on the right-hand side under "Downloads".
(Note: If you intend to send the form electronically, select the PDF printer!)
In addition, there is the option of submitting a meeting via an online form. You can find the corresponding website here:
