Unregistered bicycle parking available at the first police station in Darmstadt, Germany

The Police Headquarters South Hesse is hosting a bike and e-scooter coding event in Darmstadt on Thursday, September 25, 2025. The event will take place at the 1st Police Station (1. Polizeirevier) located at Bismarckstraße 16, 64293 Darmstadt, from 10:00 to 16:00. No appointment is necessary, but identification and proof of ownership are required.

The event encourages proper securing of bikes and e-scooters, including the use of a robust lock, GPS tracker, and correct locking. The coding process is aimed at deterring bike and e-scooter theft. To participate, owners are required to bring personal data and information about their bike or e-scooter (manufacturer, type, and frame number).

For further questions, please contact Bernd Hochstaedter, who can be reached at 06151 / 969 - 13110 or 0172 / 309 7857. Alternatively, you can reach the central contact at 06151 / 969 - 13500 or via email at [email protected]. The address for the 1st Police Station is Klappacher Straße 14, 64285 Darmstadt.

It is important to note that carbon wheels are not suitable for coding at the event. Removing accessories from the middle frame beforehand (e.g., locks or containers) is recommended to avoid waiting times. Owners of e-bikes and pedelecs should also bring the battery keys.

E-scooters are increasingly becoming targets for criminals, making this coding event a valuable addition to proper securing methods for these vehicles. By attending, you can help protect your property and contribute to a safer city. We encourage everyone who owns a bike or e-scooter to take advantage of this opportunity.
