News on environmental zones and air pollution

At the weekend it's time again: Berlin celebrates a car-free Sunday. The section between Französischer Straße and Mohrenstraße will be completely closed to cars on Saturday and Sunday.

"At present, the area around Friedrichstraße is above all one thing: uncomfortable, loud, not really inviting," explains the district mayor of Berlin-Mitte and initiator of the project, Stephan von Dassel (Greens), confirming.

Car-free Sundays in the capital could thus be implemented more frequently in the future.
