If you wish to hold a major event with an increased risk potential, you must apply for a permit.

In the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, major public events in the open air with over 10,000 participants and an increased risk potential must be approved. Such an increased risk potential can result from the type of event, such as motor sport events or if pyrotechnic objects are used.

The location and nature of the event venue are also relevant for such an assessment, such as on or near water or where escape routes are difficult. A large number of people in a confined space or events with an increased potential for conflict are also considered to have an increased risk potential.

If you are planning an event with a possible increased risk potential, please submit an informal, written application for a permit. After your documents have been checked, you will receive written notification of the approval of your application.

The following documents are required in addition to the application:

• Security concept
• Central trade register information on the organizer (not older than six months)
• Police clearance certificate of the person(s) responsible for the event (not older than six months)
• Information on compliance with the technical requirements under other relevant specialist laws
• Preparation of an analysis and examination program to determine the water quality for events that involve people being in the water
• Consent of the landowner if private areas are used
• Consent of the holder of the water rights if an authorized use of water is used
• Proof of organizer insurance
• Site plan based on the real estate map
• List of facilities

Further information on the completeness of the documents can be found in the Ordinance on the Implementation of Section 31 of the Act on the Protection of Public Safety and Order.
