Maintenance work on the e-parking ticket: Online booking temporarily stopped!

A breath of fresh air is blowing in Dresden's parking space management, and not just for climatic reasons. On Wednesday, July 16, 2025, IT specialists will be working to bring part of the system for the e-parking permit into shape. Between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. it will therefore be necessary to find alternative ways to book parking tickets, as the online service is available dresden.de is temporarily unavailable.

But the city has taken precautions! While online booking is paused, traditional parking ticket machines are enjoying great popularity. These remain fully functional during maintenance work, so that drivers can easily buy their parking tickets there. In addition, users have the option of obtaining their parking ticket via the EasyPark and PayByPhone apps. However, additional service fees may apply - this should be taken into account in the planning.

Important information about using PayByPhone

If you want to use PayByPhone to park quickly and easily, you should keep a few details in mind. Another update from paybyphone.de explains some important points to make payment smooth. For example, it is important to enter the parking zone number correctly and to avoid spaces and separators on the license plate. The time should not be entered without the necessary colon (:).

If you have problems paying via SMS, your mobile provider may have a third-party block. Contacting the provider is the right way to have PayByPhone activated. Another tip: Check your prepaid balance before you want to book a parking ticket!

Background on digital payment solutions

But what is behind the trend towards digital payment methods in parking management? According to an article by riverty.com The successful implementation of these solutions depends heavily on integration into existing systems and collaboration with technology partners. In countries like Scandinavia, so-called free-flow parking has long been standard and sets standards for a smooth process. However, the introduction of these digital solutions requires technological adjustments and clear communication to get everyone involved on board.

The switch to digital payment methods not only brought benefits for drivers, but also for the cities themselves. They benefit from lower operating costs, less administrative work and more transparent payment methods. However, widespread adoption requires training and strong change management. Data protection is also an important aspect that must always be taken into account.

A look into the future shows that biometric payments and the linking of wallets to vehicle license plates could soon be a reality. Real-time dynamic pricing and innovative mobility solutions do their part to make parking even more user-friendly and efficient.

So, while the technicians are doing their work in Dresden on July 16th, there is no reason to worry - stay flexible, use the automated options and of course don't completely forget the traditional way of parking!
