Is it legal to live permanently in a camper van or motorhome in Germany?

✓ Answered · 1 min read · Community · 87 views

Living permanently in a camper van or motorhome in Germany is legally quite difficult and generally not possible. You are legally required to register a permanent address, known as an Anmeldung, which is your official place of residence. Because of this, camper vans are typically used for holidays, not as a permanent home.
