    Blank ticket under my windshield wipers!

    Today I found this blank fine paper under my windshield wiper.

    Am I parking in a wrong spot or just being unlucky facing an unhappy officer?

    Should I expect a fine as this paper is empty? Can I do anything about it?

      It looks like you can’t park there, the curb is lowered (“abgesenkter Bordstein”).

      The paper says that you will get mail with more details.

      The officer is probably the stereotypical one you find in Berlin. They don’t want to do more than absolutely necessary, so they haven’t filled in anything and just placed the paper on your car.

      It looks like the curb is lowered where you are parking. So the problem would be parking in front of a lowered curb.

      Edit: expect a fine in the mail

      I believe you parked at a lowered curb which is used for example for people with walking aid to cross the streets. Thats generally forbidden.

      The only thing that comes to mind is that it *might* be a Feuerwehrzufahrt, but it’s not marked. The Parkverbot finished an entire car length before, so I don’t think it’s that… The Cop probably didn’t write hard enough, or, at worst will think of a BS thing to write you up at the station. Save the slip, and the photos and dispute it later.

      Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, this is only what I would do in your spot.

      ETA: If it is because of Zufahrt blocking, you’re absolutely at fault and should pay the fine.

      Looks more like a warning aka “I’ll let that pass… this time” than a “you get a fine”…
