Gestattungsverträge zur Nutzung von öffentlichen Verkehrsflächen / Bremerhaven

Would you like to permanently use a public road traffic area above or below ground?
Then you need a corresponding permit or authorization.

In contrast to a special use permit, the permit authorizes the use of municipal land that does not impair the so-called public use of this land. This applies not only to permanent but also to temporary uses, e.g. as part of a construction project. Even if a building permit or another permit under public law already exists, this alone does not authorize the use of such land within the scope of the planned construction project.

With a permit, the permit holder receives permission from the City of Bremerhaven as the property owner to install, lay and operate lines and/or systems (overhead lines, cables, pipelines, inspection shafts, construction anchors, basement light wells, etc.) on or in a property. The installation of bollards on the side of the road and the maintenance and use of green spaces on the side of the road also fall within this regulatory area.

A permit agreement must be concluded in order to use municipal areas for this purpose.

However, the Department of Road and Bridge Construction is only responsible for approving the above-ground or underground use of public road space for pipes and cables.

Please note that the road traffic authority (Amt 91/31) is responsible if public roads, paths and squares or parts thereof are to be used for purposes other than traffic and the public use of this area is impaired as a result. This requires a permit under public law (e.g. special use permit for driving over sidewalk and cycle path areas with construction and delivery vehicles, storage of construction materials and equipment, erection of cranes or scaffolding, installation of construction containers).

An informal application must be submitted to the Office for Road and Bridge Construction in good time. You must provide a detailed description of the planned use (site plan, section, explanation).

The necessary permission will be regulated within the framework of a private-law permission contract (in accordance with civil law), provided that the use of the area does not interfere with public traffic.

We would like to point out that various utility providers and municipal departments must be consulted with regard to the future use of the urban area in question and to check existing supply and disposal facilities. Therefore, a waiting period of at least four weeks before the intended use of the land must be expected in order to process the application.

Urban areas may not be used before the permit agreement has been concluded.
