tour buses belong to the tourism. But coaches on the Gendarmenmarkt or the Museum island? It is a fight in the middle of violently. Institutions such as the Berlin Cathedral and Academy of music Hanns Eisler protest with a common letter against the new holding spaces at the Humboldt-Forum and on the narrow streets of the Museum island. The coaches should let your visitor groups to the will of the traffic management there, get out and close to Parking.
in the Charlotte street right in front of the Hanns Eisler school of music courses are planned. The University feared that soon constantly buses in front of your entrance and exit. “This will exacerbate the Bus-Chaos on the spree island”, – stated in the letter of protest under the title of “world cultural heritage is the bus station”.
Currently, there are according to official data, in the large district center 122 bus Parking is available in 27 places. In General, there are about 50 to 100 Meter long sections of road that are reserved according to the sign for Parking tour buses. They are usually found in the vicinity of attractions.

at the beginning of the year, the green economy was presented to Senator Ramona Pop, a 47-page tourism concept for Berlin – after criticism of an exuberant tourism in the city centre had increased. As we know, Pop wants to the tourism in the outskirts of strengths, to equalize the masses of visitors. In 2017, 13 million visitors came to 31 million overnight Stays in the city. And the long-lasting Boom. In the first quarter of 2018, the number of overnight Stays increased in comparison to the first quarter of 2017, more than six percent .
Not only the tourist flows are to be equalized, but also the resulting traffic. In your concept of Pop announced the “development of a (further) concept for the equalization of the coach traffic in the city center,” namely new bus Parking “outside the high-traffic rooms”. To develop the concept of the traffic management. Currently, however, there is still no new Stand, said a spokeswoman from transport, Senator Gunther.
In the Pops concept is the talk of a “targeted traffic steering of individual traffic (e.g. the tourist bus, incl. Bus Parking)“ – like appearance, is still unclear. Currently, the tourists are not guided-bus. Only on the Museum island is scheduled to lock according to the traffic management an Access road, may happen just buses, which are registered in one of the museums. In the coalition agreement in 2016, the Senate had determined: “The environment of the Humboldt-forum will be closed to traffic and the street space is transformed to the Brandenburg gate pedestrian friendly. The motorized individual transport is suppressed in favour of the environmental network.“

But now, to order criticism of the interest group (IG), Museum island, happens to be the exact opposite: More Parking will bring more traffic. In the IG, the Humboldt have closed, in addition to the National museums Forum, the state library and many more institutions. They are calling on the Senate to develop a modern solution. Such was announced ten years ago by the transport administration, but has never been found. The IG considers it reasonable that Busbesucher run a few steps. The stops should be on the Karl-Liebknecht-Straße at the Marx-Engels-Forum to be, a little removed from the castle and Cathedral. The award of the ten-minute window of time (“Slots”) to get in and out should be electronically organized, is it in the IG developed the concept.

The FDP’s Deputy Sebastian Czaja question, what Forum was because at the Humboldt-as planned, the three bays on the South side of the castle were called to a Parliament. And then it says in the response of the state Secretary of Culture Torsten Wöhlert: “Experience has shown that the number of visitors again” – is returning to normal after three to four years, say, then the worst mess is over. FDP-Chef Czaja commented: “The Senate sunk to be a cultural flagship project in the traffic chaos.”
