The public can access them online from January 7, 2026, to February 6, 2026, at www.regensburg.de/participation-zoning-land-use-plan. For those preferring an in-person visit, the plans are displayed at the Urban Planning Office in the New Town Hall. The office is located at D. Martin Luther Straße 3, Room 2.26. Opening hours are Monday to Wednesday, 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM; Thursday, 8:30 AM to 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM to 5:30 PM; and Friday, 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM.
