Filming in public green spaces

Hardly any other city has as many green spaces as Berlin. More than 2,500 public green and recreational facilities with a total area of ​​around 6,400 ha offer Berliners and numerous tourists a much-used local recreation area. For the protection, maintenance and development of the green areas, the respective nature conservancy and parks department of the districts are responsible in cooperation with the Senate Department for Urban Development. 

Please note:
Some parks (see list below) are managed by the state-owned Grün Berlin GmbH group. 

Exceptional permits for filming in green and recreational areas in Berlin are issued by the nature conservation and green space offices of the districts responsible for the location. The application deadline varies from district to district between 2-4 before the start of filming.  

Attention: 
In the district of Pankow, the application deadline is always 4 weeks before the start of the measure. 
Short-term temporary changes to the application deadlines cannot be ruled out. We will communicate these to the extent that we are aware of them under " latest info ".
