Good place—very spacious when no trade fair is taking place. €12 per day, but no water or toilets. Waste can be disposed of. Quiet and lots of space. We stayed here twice for one night.
Quite a good car park; apparently services are available, but unfortunately they were closed (12/25). In the evening, a few youths came and acted up a little, but it was soon over. You occasionally hear planes at night, but they are not very loud. Tip: losing the ticket costs only €20.
€24 for one night followed by a visit to the trade fair. Toilets available. Perfect for us.
Prices vary depending on the season. I arrived on a Wednesday evening to attend the match of the year, and the attendant asked me for €150 for four nights without services. He was also very, very aggressive. We turned around.
Simple large car park. From June 21 to 22, 2025, I paid €8. Take a ticket at the barrier and pay before leaving. It worked perfectly.
No access possible. We were standing in front of a closed barrier. Unfortunately, we could not find another entrance either.
Outside the trade-fair period, we paid €31 for 18 hours (18:00 to 12:00 the following day) at the payment machine; card payment was possible, with a small van. Toilets closed, no services whatsoever. Quite expensive for that! But very quiet.
Simple car park in the middle of Rüttenscheid. Everything is easily accessible from there. We could not find any height restriction.
