How it works
A free parking space in 4 steps.
Someone parked illegally on your private space? With the FalschParker app you issue a legally compliant compensation notice in under 60 seconds – fully digital and free for you.
This is how easy it is with the FalschParker app.
Step by step
From the report to a free parking space — without you having to be on site yourself.
Open the app & capture the plate.
Open the FalschParker web app on your smartphone or scan the QR code on your parking sign. Enter the licence plate of the wrongful parker.
Take a proof photo.
Photograph the illegally parked vehicle with the licence plate clearly visible. The photo serves as legally sound evidence for the compensation notice.
Confirm the location.
Your location is captured automatically via GPS. Confirm the spot of the parking violation with one tap – so the documentation is airtight.
Done – we handle the rest.
The compensation notice is created automatically. We take care of keeper identification, invoicing, phone support and collection – fully automated.
Your rights as a parking space owner.
Legal basis
The FalschParker app offers comprehensive tools for private individuals, property managers, shopping centres and businesses of every size.
Recognised by the highest courts.
The German Federal Court of Justice (BGH) has confirmed in several rulings that claims for unauthorised parking on private property may be enforced.
No prior injunction required.
You can assert claims even without a prior court injunction. A clearly visible no-parking sign already establishes a valid usage relationship.
Possession protection under the BGB.
Parking on private property without authorisation constitutes a disturbance of possession under Sections 858, 862 BGB. As an owner or tenant, you have the right to protect your property and claim the costs incurred.
Data-protection compliant (GDPR).
All data is processed in accordance with the GDPR and BDSG. Proof photos and vehicle data are used solely to enforce legitimate claims.
Who is the app for?
Whether private or business.
The FalschParker app is for anyone who owns or manages parking spaces – from a single-family home to a shopping centre.

FAQ
View all FAQsYou ask, we answer.
Is the FalschParker app really free?
Yes, it is completely free for parking space owners and tenants. You incur no costs – the fees are collected directly from the wrongful parker.
What happens if the wrongful parker doesn't pay?
If the compensation isn't paid on time, we initiate the collection process. We handle all further steps – you don't have to do anything else.
Do I need a court injunction to issue a compensation notice?
No, a court injunction is not required. You can claim compensation for unauthorised parking on your private space even without one. An existing injunction does, however, enable additional legal steps such as a criminal complaint.
How quickly does the tow truck arrive?
Our GPS-based network of towing providers across Germany automatically identifies the nearest driver. You can track the tow truck's arrival in real time on the map.
How high is the compensation?
The compensation is usually between EUR 30 and 50. The exact amount is set by the parking space owner or tenant and depends on the actual effort involved and the local parking conditions.
What data is collected and how is it protected?
We collect licence plates, proof photos and GPS location. All data is processed in accordance with the GDPR and used solely to enforce your legitimate claims.
