Seating plans

Seating plans - advice, creation & updating

Seating plans ensure compliance with safety-relevant regulations in places of assembly. Among other things, this concerns the use of emergency exits as well as sufficient escape and rescue routes. Seating plans are required for places of assembly with more than 200 people. These include theatres, sports stadiums, conference rooms, lecture halls, etc.

Regulations on seating plans 

Seating plans are prescribed by the Ordinance on Places of Assembly (Versammlungsstättenverordnung / VStättVO) or the Guideline on Places of Assembly (Versammlungsstättenrichtlinie / VStättR) of the federal states. If an event venue accommodates more than 200 people, an approved seating plan is required.
