Bicycle marking at Gertrud-Classen-Platz

The Berlin police mark bicycles at Gertrud-Classen-Platz in Prenzlauer Berg. In addition to the frame number the bike receives a subsequent, individual marking; with the owner's consent the details of the bike and the owner's personal data are entered in a police register. After a theft the bike can then be identified more easily. Bring the bike and an identity card or passport; underage cyclists come accompanied by a parent or guardian or present written parental consent. Free of charge, no registration. The action is run by Abschnitt 16 of Direktion 1. Details taken from the Berlin state events calendar.
