An administrative court has overturned a Wolkenstein municipality ordinance that prohibited parking campers between 8 PM and 6 AM. The court ruled that such parking restrictions fall under the authority of the administration, not political bodies. The decision was made on procedural grounds, without examining the substantive dispute over potential discrimination.
