Report Issues in Public Spaces
If you notice a problem in a public space, you can report it to the appropriate city or municipality. Such problems may include, for example, damage to streets, paths, squares, green spaces, playgrounds, or public facilities. Depending on the municipality, you can also use the defect reporting system to report faulty street lighting, litter, illegal dumping, or damaged signage.
By submitting a report, you help the relevant municipality identify and resolve damage or issues more quickly. It is important to provide as accurate a description of the issue as possible. In particular, details about the exact location, the nature of the issue, and whether the situation poses a potential hazard are helpful. If an online service is available, you can often upload photos to help the responsible authority better assess the issue.
The types of issues that can be reported depend on the services offered by the respective city or municipality. The available options may therefore vary by municipality. Whether an online service is available for your location and which issue categories are offered there will be determined once you select your location.
You can view the appropriate contact point for your city or municipality, as well as any available online service, once you have selected your location.
