Information about shooting in Hesse

It is generally the case that permission is required before you can engage in filming or photographic work on private property and in private or municipal facilities.

As a rule, permission is granted by the respective press or marketing department or, in the case of private property, by the owner. Requests can usually be submitted in simple written form and sent by the film or photography crew via e-mail or fax.
The contact details of the applicant and a short description of the project should be given as well as details of the desired filming/photography times and possible alternatives. The approving authority will then make contact with the applicant and clarify all the details.
