In Germany, minimum parking requirements regulate by law that a certain number of parking spaces have to be provided for new construction developments almost nationwide. This paper examines to which extent the requirements in residential construction hinder or (prospectively) promote the mobility transition towards sustainable, car-independent mobility. Based on a literature review and a case study of Schleswig-Holstein, it is shown that the regulations have so far hindered the mobility transition, but that there are recognizable signs of change. In addition, a postal survey of the 22 largest autonomous municipalities in Schleswig-Holstein shows that suitable knowledge is available in the administrations, but that regulations and practical application are nevertheless not in line with the mobility transition. However, trends towards a mobility transition are also recognizable here.
Three main obstacles to regulations in favor of mobility transition are identified:
1. There is no easily usable, well-founded method to calculate the demand for car parking spaces.
2. There is a widespread fear that too few parking spaces will result in more cars being parked in public streets. This is accompanied by the false assumption that more private parking spaces can solve the problem.
3. Due to political and public resistance, hardly any parking management measures are implemented that could actually counteract parking in public streets.
The paper concludes with recommendations for action at municipal and state level for Schleswig-Holstein which can be applied to other states as well.
