Business registrationYou would like to register a business in Braunschweig. Your place of residence is Hanover. You must therefore state the location of your future business, i.e. Braunschweig.

Apply for a building permitYou would like to build a house in Wunstorf and therefore apply for a building permit. Her place of residence is currently Hanover. You must indicate the place where the house is to be built. In this case it is Wunstorf.

Events in public transport areas: Permission


For events where public roads are used more than usual due to the number of participants or their behavior, a permit is required. Bicycle races, cycle tours, popular runs, inline skating races, triathlon competitions, classic car or orientation rides or similar events are subject to authorisation.

Who should I contact?

The responsibility lies with the district and the city. If the event goes beyond the district of the competent authority, the Lower Saxony State Authority for Road Construction and Transport is responsible for permitting the event.
