Because the parking spaces in the city are often occupied, caregivers often have to park in the second row - and are fined up to 110 euros for this.
Is that fair
Nuremberg - cash 110 euros out of your own pocket for the work?
Sounds unfair, but it is a reality for the employees of the outpatient care service.
They often have to park in the second row because they simply cannot find a parking space in Nuremberg *.
This is reported
by Nordbayern.de
.
Reinhard Müller, the managing director of the “Sonnenschein” nursing service, now wants to defend himself against this because his employee was recently pinned a parking ticket for 55 euros.
She was lucky in the accident, because the fine can be up to 110 euros.
If you are unlucky you get one more point in Flensburg.
Nevertheless, she had to take over the 55 euros herself, "Sunshine" could not do this for "tax reasons", as Müller explained to the newspaper.

Nuremberg: Employees have to pay parking tickets themselves
That makes the job as a nurse even more unattractive, complains Müller: “It's not just us who have the parking lot problem, all outpatient nursing services have it, there are over 100 in Nuremberg *. And the city is one big construction site! "
According to
Nordbayern.de
, however, social services can apply for “parking exemption permits” from the public space service company.
Then they would be allowed to park the car in the restricted parking area or in residential parking spaces.
But even though the nurses from “Sonnenschein” have it, they still get around “four or five parking tickets per month” on around 40 trips because the permitted zones have often already been delivered, says Müller.
He calls on the city to rethink.
Social services that park in the second row should be spared from traffic monitoring.
After all, they only stop for 20 to 30 minutes on average and “not for hours”.
Nuremberg: Reinhard Müller objects - and fails
But it doesn't get that easy, explains the head of traffic monitoring, Markus Huebner.
On the one hand, his employees would have to write down everyone who parked incorrectly and, on the other hand, according to Hübner, it is often not just 20 to 30 minutes.
However, he admits that there is a margin of discretion.
The care services would not endanger or hinder anyone if they park illegally in the second row, says the care service manager.
That is why Reinhard Müller appealed against the parking ticket - it was rejected.
