Well-known places
Well-known places in Offenburg: where can you smoke?
Landmark, park or shopping street: this is how we assess well-known places in Offenburg under § 5 KCanG – each with its own map extract.

Marktplatz & Hauptstraße
Hauptstraße is a pedestrian zone – so the 7 a.m.–8 p.m. ban is likely to apply during the day; according to our map data facility zones only start at about 160 metres.
Marktplatz and Hauptstraße, where the town hall also stands, are the heart of Offenburg’s old town. Hauptstraße is designated a pedestrian zone, which brings the 7 a.m.–8 p.m. window under § 5(2) no. 5 KCanG into play. Facility zones keep some distance: according to our map data a playground lies at about 161 metres, a daycare centre at 174 and the JugendBüro youth office with its multi-generation house at 176, with further playgrounds, daycares and the Grimmelshausen-Gymnasium within 300 metres.

Zwingerpark
In the Zwingerpark consumption is likely prohibited at the centre of this extract – according to our map data a playground lies at about 60 metres and a daycare at about 76.
The Zwingerpark runs along the old town wall on the western edge of the old town. Small and green, it feels like a retreat, but according to our map data it is closely surrounded: a playground lies about 60 metres from the centre of this extract, a daycare centre at 76 and the Alte Spinnerei playground at 89 – which puts the centre inside several 100-metre radii. Two more daycares follow at 130 and 140 metres.

Gifiz lake
According to our map data the centre of this extract on the Gifiz peninsula lies outside any zone – but the nearest playground follows at only about 103 metres.
The Gifiz lake south of the city centre is Offenburg’s bathing lake, with a lido and sailing. At the extract chosen here on the peninsula our map draws only a few facilities: a playground at about 103 metres, a sports area at 194 and another playground at 251. It gets denser a little further north, where several sports areas lie, among them the Offenburg sailing club. In the lido itself the operator’s house rules apply on top, and as everywhere: never in the immediate presence of minors.
All assessments are based on our current map data and can change at any time – new facilities create new no-consumption zones. What counts is the situation on the ground; the live map above and the app always show the current data.
