Parken/en
The large parking area outside the dorm belongs to the University of Freiburg, and they require you to purchase a parking permit in order to use it. If you do not have such a permit, parking is prohibited, and someone comes and checks the permits almost every day. If you do not have one, you will be fined 7.50 € (as of 12/12), even if you are just unloading some stuff and only want to park very briefly.
The dorm has parking spaces of its own behind the dustbin shed. As of Jan 1, 2013 these are no longer free, but rather use these for unloading than university parking! As of Jan 1, 2013, unauthorzied cars will be towed away from the SWFR parking lots. You can apply for a parking permit somewhere.
The status of the four to five parking spots behind the "void" is still unclear
