Which Berlin Parking Zones Are Charging Right Now
Berlin has 103 managed parking zones and they stop at different hours. Four Spandau zones close at 17:00 on weekdays, ten run until midnight, and exactly one charges on a Sunday. Pick a weekday and an hour and the map repaints so you can see which kerbs are live and which are free.
Zone outlines, enforcement hours and tariffs come from the Senate department for mobility, transport, climate protection and the environment, last revised 1 August 2026 and checked on 12 September 2026. Street names are added from OpenStreetMap to help you find your zone and are not part of the official record. Fees and hours can differ on short stretches inside a zone, and new zones keep being introduced, so the sign at the kerb is what counts.
Choose a weekday and an hour and the map of Berlin fills in: charging zones by tariff, free zones in pale outline. Pick a zone from the list or tap it on the map to see its whole week as an hour-by-hour grid, its official opening text, how many hours a week it charges, and what the resident permit is worth at that particular meter.
Why the closing hour matters more than the price
Tariffs in Berlin only come in three sizes, 2, 3 or 4 euros an hour, so the price is the part most drivers already know. The enforcement window is the part that varies: across the 103 zones the charged week runs from 45 hours to 105, and the two do not move together. The four Neukölln zones along Karl-Marx-Straße charge the top rate but nothing at all at the weekend, while the Pankow zones around Schönhauser Allee charge the lowest rate until midnight six days a week.
The one zone that charges on a Sunday
Zone 29 in Mitte, which covers Karl-Liebknecht-Straße, Alexanderstraße, Mollstraße, Torstraße and Rosenthaler Straße, runs Monday to Sunday from 09:00 to midnight at 4 euros an hour. Every other zone in the city is free all day on Sunday. If you drive into the historic centre at the weekend, that is the block you are parking in.
Where the map is empty
Managed parking covers 8 of Berlin’s 12 districts and, inside those eight, mostly the inner ring. Lichtenberg, Marzahn-Hellersdorf, Reinickendorf and Treptow-Köpenick have no managed zone at all. The grey districts on this map are not missing data, they are genuinely free kerb.
What the resident permit is worth
A Bewohnerparkausweis costs 20.40 euros and lasts up to two years, covers one vehicle, and works only in the zone your address sits in. The tool converts that into the number of metered hours it replaces at the zone you picked: about 5 hours in a 4 euro zone, about 10 in a 2 euro zone. It gives you no right to a space, and the application can take up to four weeks.
