Filming in Berlin and Major German Cities: What to Know

Filming in Berlin and other major German cities such as Munich, Hamburg, Frankfurt, or Cologne requires careful planning—especially when shooting on public grounds. As a general guideline, you should allow 2–4 weeks for filming permit applications to be processed by the relevant authorities, depending on the location and complexity of the shoot.

In high-demand cities like Berlin, timelines can vary depending on the location and complexity of the production. Early planning and direct communication with local authorities are key to avoiding delays.

Based in Berlin, we regularly support international film and TV productions with permits, crew sourcing, logistics, and on-the-ground coordination. Our experience working with local authorities and service providers helps ensure reliable planning and efficient workflows—even under tight timelines.

If you are planning a shoot in Berlin or elsewhere in Germany, you can find further details in our FAQ section and in our guide on filming permits in Germany. For Berlin-specific information, please also see our Fixer in Berlin page.
