Your questions.

Clear answers.

With code number 96 (§ 6a FeV) trailers with a permissible total mass of up to 4,250 kg. Towing vehicle must fall into class B (max. 3,500 kg). Trailers over 750 kg - typically up to approx. 2,000 kg. Examples: Caravan ~1.3 t behind SUV, single horse trailer, boat trailer, platform trailer for quad. Relevant: the permissible total masses entered in the vehicle registration document, not the unladen weights.
Correct - B96 is not a separate class, but a key number extension (key number 96, Appendix 9 FeV). You complete a course of at least 7 hours (2.5 hours of theory + 3.5 hours of practice + 1 hour of driving in real traffic, Appendix 7a FeV), the driving school issues proof of training, the road traffic office enters the number 96. No TÜV test, no failure rate. Requirement: valid Class B driving license and minimum age of 18 years.
Training at least 7 hours (2.5 hours of theory + 3.5 hours of practice + 1 hour of driving in real traffic), can be divided into 1-3 appointments - often on a weekend. Total time from registration: 1-2 weeks. Costs in Düsseldorf 2026: €450–650 flat rate (including training vehicle with trailer, proof of training), plus ~€25 administration fee at the Düsseldorf Road Traffic Office for registration. No TÜV fees as there is no test.
B96 is sufficient if your trailer has a maximum permissible total mass of 4,250 kg - typical for medium-sized caravans (~1.3-1.5 t) behind cars. You need BE for trailers over 3,500 kg or a trailer over 4,250 kg - typical for double horse trailers (2.4 t), large caravans, heavy boats, construction machinery. Rule of thumb: add vehicle registration documents - over 4,250 kg = BE. We will review your case in 5 minutes during the initial consultation.
Only a valid class B (minimum age 18) is required. No previous experience necessary. We start from scratch: first hitching/uncoupling, then maneuvering backwards (biggest hurdle - trailer steers the other way around), then driving with a focus on braking distance, commuting, overtaking behavior. Anyone who has experience will get through faster - but the minimum 7 hours (2.5 theory + 3.5 practice + 1 in real traffic) are a legal minimum and cannot be reduced.
