This page is a general reference summary, not legal advice. Always check the relevant country's official authority for the latest rules before flying.
Germany follows the EU-wide EASA framework, which splits drone operations into three risk-based categories — Open, Specific, and Certified. Most hobby flying falls under the Open category.
Drone operators must register with the LBA (Luftfahrt-Bundesamt) and display their registration number on the aircraft.
Where you can fly is defined by DIPUL (Digital Platform for Unmanned Aviation) — always check it for flight restriction and control zones before flying.
