(Ridiculous RWTH) Parking restriction:
If you plan to drive to SE by car, you can …
- use the big and at most times empty parking area east of the Computer Science Centre (entrance at Mies-van-der-Rohe-Strasse). But, you need an RWTH parking permit, which you can get from the SE office. Please, give us a note before. Otherwise, parking enforcement might grab your car without prior notice. Really, no joke!
- alternatively: use the public parking space along the nearby Mies-van-der-Rohe-Straße or along Halifaxstrasse, where normaly space is available.
