Biotopschutz Allgemeine Informationen

Federal Nature Conservation Act (BNatSchG)

Protected biotopes are habitats of plant and animal species that are particularly worthy of protection. These habitats deserve special protection because they are rare, have a high ecological value or are threatened with destruction.

Hamburg offers a high diversity of habitats for wild plant species and wild animal species. Almost 10% of Hamburg's land area is protected. From rivers to extensively used grassland areas to forests, Hamburg offers habitats for many species, including rare ones. But parks, tree-lined gardens, roofs and towers can also be important biotopes. The focus of nature conservation is

• Preservation of valuable natural biotopes through area protection
• Restoration of near-natural habitats and dispersal areas
• Preservation of irreplaceable habitats
• Preservation and development of site diversity
• Protection of microhabitats and special habitats
• safeguarding the habitat requirements of migratory species
• biotope development also on residential areas

The required documents depend on the individual case.

To protect biotopes, it is necessary to observe legal requirements, monitor ecological conditions and ensure sustainable use and active conservation of habitats.

The costs depend on the individual case.

The processing time depends on the individual case.

Deadlines may apply. These depend on the individual case.

The "Species and Habitat Protection" map with its accompanying explanatory report is an essential, binding component of the landscape program in Hamburg. As a comprehensive nature conservation program, it describes development goals for all areas of the city and sets out measures for the protection, care and development of the habitats of native plant and animal species. This includes forests, moors, heaths and grassland as well as residential areas and the port.
