Most German city centers suffer from a severe lack of parking space. Do NOT park your car in a no parking zone. Even if you only go around the corner for 5 minutes you may find a hefty ticket upon your return. The German police employs a special unit (mostly females) to find and fine parking offenders. In extreme cases, your car may get towed.
