FAQs
Photos/Videos
Ask everybody in the picture if they agree to be photographed or filmed. It follows that shots from the stage into the audience and long shots in the hackcenters, villages and the other public areas are not possible! Please note that we might ask photographers and film teams to leave, if they don't behave accordingly.
Camping
Where do I put my tent if I do NOT participate in a Village ?
Come to the camp site and put your tent on a spot that you like and that is not reserved for someone else or for infrastructure. You can also join a village if you ask the inhabitants or move your tent if you don't like a spot.
Where can I store my valuables?
You have to take care of your valuables yourself. You can ask your friendly neighbour to watch out for your stuff, lock it in a car or carry it with you. Up to now very few things have been stolen during CCC events but as our events grow bigger the number of jerks probably rises proportionally.
Cars and Camper Vans
If you can, please leave your vehicle at home. Check travel for other options of getting to the venue. We also offer a Parcel Service so you can send Things to and from the venue.
Where can I park my car?
There will be a parking lot right beside the camp, there will be no parking on the campsite itself. You will need to buy a parking ticket for your car. Parking tickets will be available on-site.
Is it OK to drive the car on the camp ground to unload stuff for the village on arrival?
We ask everyone to carry their luggage by hand if possible. We plan to provide carts and similar means of transportation between the cash desk and the rest of the camp ground. If you really need to drive on the camp ground to unload, better come early as we may close the venue for vehicles if it gets to dense. In general there is no guarantee that you are able to drive on the camp ground, you may have to wait for several hours. Use the Parcel Service to save yourself from this stress and hassle. It is also much more environment friendly.
Is it ok to come with a campervan/caravan?
Generally yes, but please read Caravans.
Will there be campers/caravans allowed at the FamilyVillage?
There is no space for campers or caravans in the FamilyVillage.
Parcel Delivery to and from the camp
Can I send my stuff to the camp?
You can send your stuff using any postal delivery service operating in Germany.
Go to the [BGP (Soon available)] Website and generate a sticker to get the delivery address.
Put the Sticker prominently on your Parcel, but be sure to not interfere with the delivery companies Sticker/Codes.
My Stuff arrives at the camp using a acquaintance car, but meetup and storing is hard. Can you Help?
Yes, we don't really care how Parcels arrive (post, car, ship, rocket, pigeon, beamed by Scotty, magic portal). As long it has a sticker we will store it in our Storage and it can be picked up.
Please make sure each item has a sticker on it so we know which items belong together.
While we gladly store parcels, suitcases, camping tents and similar items, we can not handle loose items.
Generally spoken, it should be in a form any postal delivery service would take in. For other requirements, please talk to the Logistic Operation Center.
I deliver items for many people to the camp. Can you help with the distribution?
Yes, see above question/answer. Please make sure everyone puts a sticker on their items.
If you have larger amount of items to drop, please contact us before arriving at the camp.
Can I order Stuff online to the Camp?
Yes, please visit the [BGP (Soon available)] Website and generate a sticker to get the delivery address including a 6 Digit Tracking Code.
Please remember, anything you order to the camp you also need to carry back home (or send it using a postal service)
We urge you to think about the environment before going on a shopping spree.
Can I send my stuff from the camp to my home?
You can send your stuff home using a postal delivery service operating in Germany. Just buy a online stamp and bring your item to the [BGP] Tent. While we support many Companies, DHL may be the best supported option.
We will provide means to print your online stamps on the campsite.
