Register an event in the city centre

Would you like to hold an event in Essen city centre? Please complete the online form below 9 weeks before the event is due to take place.

The next steps are as follows:

• We will review your application in terms of the requested date and location, as well as the nature of the event. If the requested location is still available, we will reserve it for you.
• We will calculate the costs incurred for your event and send you a quotation.
• Once we have received your order confirmation, we will send you a registration form, which you must complete and send to the City’s Event Coordination Office.
• If the authorities have no objections, we will apply to the relevant licensing authority for the special-use permit required for your event.
• To do so, we will need a site plan from you, showing your installations drawn to scale. If necessary, we can provide you with a suitable plan and assist you as required.
• Once we have received the special-use permit, the contract can be concluded and the invoice issued.
• Your event is then approved and can go ahead.
