Schwabach puts an end to barriers: the underground car park at Königsplatz modernized!

In Schwabach something happens in the area of parking! The underground car park at Königsplatz is currently being renewed and is to be switched to a modern, barrier system by July 2025. This conversion brings with it some exciting innovations that will make everyday parking everyday much easier. As NN is reported and replaced by a license plate scan system. This means that users no longer have to pass a barrier in the future - a real progress!

The first steps have already been initiated. At the beginning of July, the work for cabling for the camera installations that are necessary began to implement the license plate recording. On July 29, 2025, it will be really concrete: On this day, two displays will be installed in the entrance and exit area. The vehicles are directed to a lane during the installation that is regulated by a security service.

New payment system and parking tariffs

Another highlight of the update is the new payment system. In the future, parking fees will not only be paid in cash, but also cashless at the new cash register or online up to 48 hours after the exit. However, this requires the specification of the vehicle license plate. For all those who did not pay after 48 hours, follow a car holder data determination that is associated with a parking fee of 45 euros. But don't worry, the parking tariffs remain unchanged, and the first hour parking remains free of charge. A token for an additional free hour is replaced by QR code cards that can be scanned directly on the cash register.

The investments in the new system and the conversion measures amount to around 55,000 euros. The city of Schwabach has also mixed up: 22 wider parking spaces were marked, the stairwells were renovated and walls were rejected. There are also new signage that make it easier for drivers to orientate. In the future, e-charging stations should also be installed, a parking guideline system is integrated and free WiFi.
