Contipark acquires multi-storey car park at the foot of the famous Betzenberg in Kaiserslautern

Over 40,000 drivers find a clean and secure parking space in the centrally located multi-storey car park in Kaiserslautern – every year. Contipark has now acquired the car park after 17 years of successful management as a subtenant of DB BahnPark. “Acquiring ownership is part of our corporate strategy, because we are committed to the long term. This is the only way we can offer our customers a stable price structure and continuous service in the long term,” says Michael Kesseler, Managing Director of Contipark. The multi-storey car park has 359 parking spaces on an area of over 6,000 m2. It was built in 2006 on the occasion of the Football World Cup in Germany. The open design of the multi-storey car park in steel skeleton construction was not only in keeping with the spirit of the World Cup with the slogan “The world as a guest with friends”. “The parking spaces, spread over three spacious car park decks in combination with the counter-running spindle ramp, also architecturally emphasised the openness and clarity in Germany on the occasion of the big football festival. Since 2006, it has of course not only offered football fans a pleasant and comfortable parking experience, but also rail travellers,” says Thorsten Sprengel, Managing Director of DB BahnPark.

The favourable P Card remains valid for customers even after purchase. The regular parking fee is 1.50 euros per hour or nine euros per day. With a P Card or BahnCard, the daily charge is just six euros. A Mobility Hub is also planned for the car park in the future as part of a joint initiative by the city of Kaiserslautern, DB BahnPark and Contipark. This will provide “connected mobility solutions through flexible offers”, including sharing vehicles such as bicycles, e-scooters and e-mopeds. “MobiHubs are a useful addition to our stationary transport services. The aim is to make the last mile as convenient as possible for our customers and to offer them a complementary mobility alternative,” says Andreas Knops, Member of the Management Board and Head of Property Management.
