Abstract

The invention relates to a method for operating a parking assistance device (2) of a motor vehicle (1), comprising a) learning a parking trajectory (4) between an initial position (5) and a parked position (6) of the motor vehicle (1) by means of a computing unit (3) of the parking assistance device (2) in the case of parking which is controlled by a driver of the motor vehicle (1); b) checking whether the learnt parking trajectory (4) runs over public land (11) or over private land (12) in at least one respective section (13, 14); c) driverless parking of the motor vehicle (1) along the parking trajectory (4) exclusively in a section (14) of the checked parking trajectory (4) which runs over private land (12), in order to increase safety during a parking process which is assisted or carried out by the parking assistance device (2).
