Stress-free shopping, relaxed parking: We make it possible!
Customers who want advice before deciding on a new electrical appliance or want to try on clothes and shoes before they buy them go to the nearest shopping center or shopping arcade in a large city. They not only support local retailers, but can also take their purchases home with them.
Seasonal discounts, which are common in the upcoming summer sales, often pose challenges for retailers and their employees. This is because the special offers attract bargain hunters to the shopping streets and shopping centers.
But how about driving to the shopping center and easily finding a parking space without any traffic jams at the entrance?
With Mobility Hub Parkservice, this becomes a reality! We ensure that your visit to the shopping center begins and ends in a relaxed manner, even when it's busy.
Do you have a parking space and are interested in barrier-free parking?

Especially during seasonal sales or before public holidays, a visit can quickly become a test of patience. Special offers attract many bargain hunters - and the rush is inevitable. This can dampen the mood:
- Queuing at the parking garage entrance: Traffic jams form even before you start parking.
- Long queues in the stores: The checkout queues are endless.
- Hands full, parking meter full: And then standing in line at the machine to pay with your shopping bags packed full.
However, a visit to the shopping center can also be relaxed in the middle of the sales hustle and bustle, namely when the first hurdle is removed: the stressful search for a parking space.
Stress-free parking at the shopping center with Mobility Hub
A visit to the shopping center can be much more relaxed when parking works smoothly right from the start. This is exactly where we come in, managing parking with a digital, barrier-free solution. It is already being used successfully at the "daseinstein" shopping center in Munich, for example.
This is how your seamless parking experience with Mobility Hub works:
- Data protection-compliant license plate recognition: When entering and exiting, the license plate is automatically recorded in compliance with data protection regulations. The system then calculates the parking duration.
- Flexible payment – choice of options: You can pay conveniently:
- At modern touchscreen machines with user-friendly menu navigation, simply enter the license plate number. Depending on what the local shopping center offers, you can pay cashless or in cash. A receipt is available upon request.
- Even easier: simply pay onlinewith your smartphone. This completely eliminates the need to go to the ticket machine.
- Exact parking time and time buffer: After payment, depending on the size of the parking garage or parking space, you will still have a few minutes to comfortably walk to your car and leave the parking area.
- Free parking time: Many shopping centers even offer free parking for a certain amount of time. This means that if you only plan to visit the shopping center for a short time and leave within this time frame, you can park completely free of charge. The aim is to keep parking spaces free for customers and prevent them from being blocked by long-term parkers.

MHP in practice: Relaxed parking at the Haerder Center
A great example of how Mobility Hub improves the parking experience is the Haerder Center in Lübeck's old town. In the fall of 2022, the old barrier-based system in the underground car park with 250 parking spaces was replaced by Mobility Hub's digital management system. Since then, it has been the first barrier-free parking garage in Lübeck!
Road users can now drive into the underground car park seamlessly, even during rush hour , without having to stop at the entrance or exit. The system is more efficient and reliable because there are no longer any vulnerable barriers. As Dr. Ralph Bruns from KWL GmbH (operator of the underground car park) explains, customers not only benefit from a parking system that makes parking in the city center easier, but also reduces traffic jams and CO₂ emissions. Parking fees can be paid conveniently in cash, by card, or via a web application.
