Street / public space
Yes to photograph; GDPR and the right to one's image apply to publishing identifiable people
Personal-use shooting falls under the GDPR household exemption. Publishing a recognizable person without consent, particularly commercially, generally needs consent, with public-figure and news exceptions.
Freedom of panorama
No (incidental inclusion only)
The Law of 18 April 2001 on Copyright, as amended in 2015, contains no panorama exception; only incidental inclusion of a protected work in an image is allowed. Selling images whose subject is a copyrighted building or artwork (e.g. the Philharmonie or MUDAM on Kirchberg) requires permission. The UNESCO-listed old town and fortifications are out of copyright.
Practical notes
- The Grund, Adolphe Bridge, and old-town panoramas raise no copyright issue; the FoP gap bites on Kirchberg's modern architecture and contemporary public art.
- The Chemin de la Corniche is the marquee viewpoint and is unrestricted.
- EU institution buildings on Kirchberg have security staff attentive to close-up photography of entrances and infrastructure.
