Three bicycle garages can now be used
Three bicycle parking boxes are now available to cyclists in the city of Chemnitz. Cyclists can now park their bikes safely and protected from the weather at the station forecourt, on the corner of Straße der Nationen and Brückenstraße and in front of the Chemnitz University of Technology lecture centre on Reichenhainer Straße.
Each bicycle garage offers space for 16 bicycles on two floors. On the lower floors, two bikes can be parked next to each other in one compartment, increasing the capacity of the containers to up to 24 bikes. The compartments are suitable for standard bicycles with a length of around two metres. Luggage bags and helmets can also be stored in the compartment.
Bookings can be made directly via the respective touch control terminal at the bicycle garage.
There is a charge for using the bike garage, payment is made by bank card.

The amount of the usage fees is regulated by the City of Chemnitz's fee schedule for bicycle garages in Chemnitz, which was adopted by the City Council of Chemnitz on 24 September 2025 with resolution B-097/2025.
Bookings can be made directly on site using the touch control terminal at the bike garage. The procedure for booking the box, parking and collecting the bikes is clearly explained via the operating terminal and via explanations at the garages. User registration is not necessary.
All common cashless payment methods such as Maestro, credit card, Paypal or mobile phone payment systems are accepted. It is not possible to pay with cash. After making a chargeable booking, customers receive a 9-digit PIN code which is used to open the booked compartment for dropping off and collecting the bike. The bike is parked in the rails provided and the door is then locked.
The lower bike boxes are equipped with sockets so that electric bikes can be charged while they are parked.
Charging is not possible in the upper boxes.
Short-term rentals (less than 3 days): If the booked rental period is less than 3 days, the booking can be overdrawn up to a usage period of 3 days and paid for in arrears. The bike must be collected after 3 days at the latest.
Long-term hire (7 days and 30 days): The bike must be collected in good time before the end of the booking. Additional payment is not possible.
If the bike is not collected on time, it will be removed for a fee and handed over to the lost property office of the City of Chemnitz. A service fee of 130.90 euros (gross) will be charged for this, which must be paid when collecting the bicycle from the lost property office.
