Applying for permission to hold open-air assemblies and processions in the pacified district
Service Description
If you are planning a public assembly or a parade in the so-called pacified area of the federal government, you need a permit from the Federal Ministry of the Interior and Homeland (BMI).
The pacified district is the local demarcation around the German Bundestag, the Bundesrat and the Federal Constitutional Court. The pacified district ensures that the supreme institutions of the state can carry out their work and function without interference from outside. This is why freedom of assembly is restricted in these areas.
This restriction is lifted if interference with the work and access to the buildings of the constitutional bodies is ruled out. This is usually the case when the Bundestag is not in session.
Spontaneous assemblies are prohibited.
