Berlin Mayor Kai Wegner Presses Quick Hike to Resident Parking Fees

The decision is tied to 2026/2027 budget talks with a price rise signaled if wider reform lags.

Overview

  • Berlin’s leader says a ruling on resident parking fees should come in the coming weeks alongside the double‑budget agreement for 2026/2027.
  • Kai Wegner states he will initially raise the price if the coalition cannot agree on a full resident‑parking reform.
  • He reports ongoing discussions with Transport Senator Ute Bonde and the CDU parliamentary group on the path forward.
  • The current annual permit costs €10.20, which reporting says does not cover basic administrative expenses.
  • Ute Bonde has a broader parking concept in the works, while Wegner frames a fee increase as a swift way to bolster city revenues and has not named a new price.
