Grilling without hassle: How to follow the rules in Bremen and Bremerhaven
Summer invites you to spend sociable barbecue evenings outdoors, but in Bremen and Bremerhaven all barbecue fans should be well informed in order to avoid trouble and fines. How buten and within reports, the barbecue season is currently active and you should always be considerate of other people and nature.
Whether grilling in public green spaces or at swimming lakes - it is allowed in this country as long as there are no signs indicating a ban on grilling. It is important that there is a strict ban in forests and in nature and landscape protection areas. And when the grilling season really starts, operators should be careful not to set up the grill under treetops or near combustible materials.
Prohibited utensils and public barbecue areas
Disposable grills and aluminum trays are also not permitted as they cause significant damage to the green areas. The city of Bremen offers numerous public barbecue areas, for example at the Stadtwaldsee or in the Weseruferpark Rablinghausen. However, these spaces must be cleaned up independently after use - a fair deal for everyone!
Some people might now ask themselves whether grilling on their own balcony or terrace is possible without restrictions. The answer is yes, unless the rental agreement states otherwise. However, if neighbors are disturbed by smoke, this can be considered a misdemeanor, which can result in fines. Service Bremen points out that in such cases, good neighborly relations are paramount.
Fines and responsibility
And while we're on the subject of fines: Anyone who violates the barbecue rules must expect a fine of at least 50 euros. A look at the numbers shows that the penalties in Bremen are rather moderate compared to other cities. While in Berlin it costs 20 euros for illegal grilling, the amount here is relatively friendly, even if in practice it can be significantly higher if the violations are serious. bussgeldkatalog.org gave interesting insights into this.
In summary: Barbecuing is fun if you follow the rules and show consideration for others. A little responsibility and foresight can nip a lot of arguments in the bud. One thing is certain: nothing can beat a successful outdoor barbecue day when you're relaxed with friends and family!
