We are here for you
City of Aachen
Common contact point
The joint contact point in close cooperation between the public order office and Aachen police as a clear sign of greater security and order for Aachen residents. From Mondays to Saturdays, from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., citizens can turn to the colleagues on site for everything from the classic filing of reports and the provision of information to the use of the lost and found office and much more.
Lost and found office
Did you find something? Did you lose something? Then the staff at the Lost and Found Office are exactly who you need to see. This is where lost items are received, stored, and returned to their owners.
Please note: The municipal Lost and Found Office at Peterstraße 44/46 will be closed on both Tuesdays, August 18 and 25. Lost items can still be turned in at the joint service center.

Road safety
The city is working to ensure safe and understanding coexistence in road traffic. The road safety action plan, the FahrRad in Aachen campaign and speed checks help with this.

Speed checks
Excessive speed often causes accidents on Aachen's roads. This is why the Department of Safety and Order regularly monitors these with mobile measuring devices at particularly dangerous spots. Do you often see vehicles driving too fast? Then please contact our colleagues and suggest a speed check.

Major events

Aachen offers a wide range of leisure activities: major events, concerts, street festivals, markets, bike races or runs - there is something for everyone. To ensure that everything runs smoothly, every event must be carefully planned and approved by the Office for Safety and Order. This is where the teams can help, act as competent contact persons and guide you through the approval process. After all, the safety of organizers, participants and visitors must be guaranteed. Different applications must be submitted depending on the type, location and size of the event. A permit is required for events in public areas such as street festivals, markets, parades or bike races.
