Source: official source · Verified: 2026-09-19
Pleidelsheim has been an Umweltzone since 1 July 2008 and green-sticker-only since 1 January 2013. One Plakette covers all 11 towns of the Ludwigsburg und Umgebung zone. Fine EUR 100.
Locally the zone is called Umweltzone Pleidelsheim (Germany) — that is the wording on the boundary signs, on the official portal and on any penalty notice, so it is the phrase to search for once you are there.

Pleidelsheim is part of a 11-town zone, not a city zone
The restriction here is Umweltzone Ludwigsburg und Umgebung, a single regional Umweltzone shared by 11 municipalities. Add the merger history: from 1 January 2012 Pleidelsheim, Ingersheim and Freiberg formed one zone; the Umweltbundesamt now files all eleven municipalities under "Ludwigsburg und Umgebung", whose stages all date from 01.01.2013. Motorcycles, emergency vehicles, agricultural and forestry tractors, disabled drivers' vehicles and classic cars are excluded from the ban.
Towns inside this zone:
- Asperg
- Bietigheim-Bissingen
- Freiberg am Neckar
- Ingersheim
- Kornwestheim
- Ludwigsburg
- Markgröningen
- Möglingen

The zone covers designated areas (ausgewiesene Bereiche) within these towns rather than every street inside their boundaries — watch for the round green signs. Federal register.

A village of a few thousand people has its own emission zone because of one measuring point: “Seit dem 01. Juli 2008 ist die Gemeinde Pleidelsheim aufgrund ihrer schlechten Feinstaub- und Nox-Werte am Alten Rathaus zur Umweltzone erklärt worden” (pleidelsheim.de). Since 1 January 2013 only the green Plakette gets you in, and the zone has since been folded into the 11-town Umweltzone Ludwigsburg und Umgebung — one sticker for all of them. Missing it costs EUR 100.

Pleidelsheim Emission Zone
Drivers heading north out of Stuttgart on the B27 usually have no idea they pass through a regulated area here. The trigger was local: particulate and nitrogen-oxide readings at the Altes Rathaus, which put a village on the same footing as Stuttgart or Ludwigsburg. The municipality confirms the merged perimeter — “Seit dem 01. Januar 2012 gilt eine gemeinsame Zone für Pleidelsheim, Ingersheim und Freiberg” — and the Umweltbundesamt now lists all eleven towns under one entry.
Who Can Enter?
- Petrol cars: a regulated catalytic converter, which means Euro 1 and newer
- Diesel cars: Euro 4, or Euro 3 with a retrofitted particulate filter
- Motorcycles: excluded from the ban entirely
- Emergency vehicles, agricultural and forestry tractors, disabled drivers’ vehicles and registered classics: excluded

Crossing a town boundary inside that list changes nothing.
