Parking Charges at KIT Campus South

Since 1 October 2026, parking on the KIT South Campus has become subject to charges due to the introduction of a parking management system operated by PBW.

Vehicle registration plates are automatically scanned at the barrier. Please drive directly up to the barrier, which will open automatically after a short time.

Please note that payment is only possible cashlessly at the end of your parking session. Accepted payment methods include an NFC-enabled card at the exit payment terminal, mobile payment, or the vParken app.

Further information is available on the KIT Mobility Portal.
