Rules vary across Giessen. I don't have reliable current data on short-term rental regulations and enforcement reality for Giessen, Marburg, and Wetzlar specifically. These mid-sized German cities likely follow Hessen state regulations, but local implementation and enforcement varies significantly. Without verified information on actual permit requirements, occupancy rules, and real-world enforcement practices in each city, I recommend contacting each city's Ordnungsamt (regulatory office) directly for current rules and enforcement approaches. Verify requirements for the property's jurisdiction.
