If you live in a city with parking minimums, yes they fucking are.

I'm from Germany too. Is it really?! I had never heard of that. It can't be a thing inside cities though, can it? I honestly can't even think of a place where it would make any sense. Surely shops that are located outside dense urban areas would try to make sure they have enough parking space anyway.

    Yes it's true. Where I live there is even parking space allocated for storage space. For each 100m² one parking space. Which is truly a ridiculous requirement.

    This is most likely for businesses, not sure about your exact communal regulations, but it should really be something like 1 per 100m² or 1 per 3 employees. Not that ridiculous. There's also minimum bicycle parking requirements BTW.
