PERSON ENTITLED TO CUSTODY
The person entitled to custody is the person who, alone or together with another person, is entitled to custody according to the provisions of the German Civil Code. As a rule, this is the parents.
PARENT/LEGAL GUARDIAN
A parent or guardian is any person over the age of 18 who is responsible for the child’s or young person’s education for the duration of the event on the basis of a written agreement with the person with parental authority.
If the child or young person is accompanied by a parent/legal guardian, the “agreement on the assignment of parent/legal guardian” must be executed and signed in a legally binding manner. This document must be carried by the parent/guardian at all times. If this is not the case during a check, the child may be reported to the police and the responsible youth welfare office. It must be possible for the person to be supervised to drive home.
We expressly point out that the legal guardians, i.e. as a rule the parents, are responsible for deciding who can take on the task of child-raising and to what extent this task is assigned. The person to whom the educational task is delegated should also be aware of the responsibility that is being taken on. Attention: This person can also be entrusted with the supervision of more than one person! You can download the agreement! The ban on alcohol for young people under the age of 18, which also includes the consumption of mixed drinks containing spirits, also remains in place.
Parent/legal guardian agreement (German only)
Children up to and including 12 years of age are admitted free of charge when accompanied by their parents and on presentation of their child’s ID card and the ID card of one of their parents.
