A method for finding a parking space for a vehicle in a target area, wherein - a connection server is provided in which are stored connection data, associated with the target area, for a plurality of data servers (3, 4, 5), each of which stores data relating to at least one parking space, - a search request to find a parking space in the target area is addressed to the connection server, - the connection server establishes a connection to the data servers (3, 4, 5) using the associated data, and queries whether availability data concerning available parking spaces in the target area are stored in the respective database and, if availability data are present, feedback data are transmitted to the connection server from the respective data servers (3, 4, 5), - wherein the query from the connection server takes place in several stages such that -- - in a first query stage, a preselection of the data servers (3, 4, 5) is made, first parking space data relating to the target area being requested by the connection server and corresponding first feedback data from the data servers (3, 4, 5) being used to respond to the query whether the respective data server contains parking space data relating to the target area, - based on the first feedback data and on a respective correction factor which is specific to the data server and is changed dynamically to assess the feedback data, a decision is made in the connection server as to which of the respective data servers (3, 4, 5) are preselected, - at least one data server (3, 4, 5) is selected as the selected server from the preselected data servers (3, 4, 5) and in a second query stage addressed to the selected server, second feedback data which are more detailed than the respective first feedback data at least in terms of the parking space location are respectively retrieved. - a connection server is provided in which are stored connection data, associated with the target area, for a plurality of data servers (3, 4, 5), each of which stores data relating to at least one parking space, - a search request to find a parking space in the target area is addressed to the connection server, - the connection server establishes a connection to the data servers (3, 4, 5) using the associated data, and queries whether availability data concerning available parking spaces in the target area are stored in the respective database and, if availability data are present, feedback data are transmitted to the connection server from the respective data servers (3, 4, 5), - wherein the query from the connection server takes place in several stages such that -- - in a first query stage, a preselection of the data servers (3, 4, 5) is made, first parking space data relating to the target area being requested by the connection server and corresponding first feedback data from the data servers (3, 4, 5) being used to respond to the query whether the respective data server contains parking space data relating to the target area, -- - in a first query stage, a preselection of the data servers (3, 4, 5) is made, first parking space data relating to the target area being requested by the connection server and corresponding first feedback data from the data servers (3, 4, 5) being used to respond to the query whether the respective data server contains parking space data relating to the target area, - based on the first feedback data and on a respective correction factor which is specific to the data server and is changed dynamically to assess the feedback data, a decision is made in the connection server as to which of the respective data servers (3, 4, 5) are preselected, - at least one data server (3, 4, 5) is selected as the selected server from the preselected data servers (3, 4, 5) and in a second query stage addressed to the selected server, second feedback data which are more detailed than the respective first feedback data at least in terms of the parking space location are respectively retrieved.
