In Brief
Four new motorhome parking spaces with charging stations (€6/day) opened in Petersberg. Kraichgau expands options from free lots to winery stays. In Herford, spaces near H2O aqua park are reduced after resident complaints.
The municipality of Petersberg (Germany) has opened four new motorhome parking spaces on Landwehr road. They are equipped with electric charging stations. Daily rate is 6 euros, kilowatt-hour 0.70 euros. The decision was made in response to the growing number of motorhomes in Germany (over 1 million in 2025) and a shortage of spaces in the Fulda region.
In the Kraichgau region, the number of motorhome parking spaces is increasing. Options range from free lots to equipped sites near outdoor pools and overnight stays at wineries with local products. The Dillig family from Hunsrück parked their caravan at the Hannes Biohof organic farm in Oberderdingen. Farm owner Sarah Werner notes that guests often find her through the "Landvergnügen" platform.
In Herford, on the other hand, after residents' objections, the number of motorhome parking spaces near the H2O aqua park has been reduced. The planned parking deck also received a limited building permit. Changes affected the Kiewiese area.
