7.1 Nature, forest, trees and heritage
protection
Parcel scope: Flurstück 16/24, area 627 m². The review checked Forest and wooded areas nearby, Protected
and nature areas nearby, Natural monuments nearby using 11 sources listed in the appendix ledger, retrieved
on 27 September 2026. The main result for this parcel is: Nature conservation area: No published
designation covers the report point. Before committing to the purchase, request Dated nature-conservation
response on “Nature conservation areas (BfN)”.

FINDING: The review established: Landscape protection area: The nearest WMS-resolved boundary lies 159 m northwest; the report
point is outside it.
CONSEQUENCE: The source position is supported by 11 of 11 responses; no query remains open. For the buyer, this point should be
resolved before agreeing price or purchase.
NEXT ACTION: ask competent nature-conservation authority for dated nature-conservation response on “Nature conservation areas

FINDING: No separation of this order creates an obligation on this parcel.
CONSEQUENCE: The value of the check is that it happened: all three designations were queried and are
demonstrably far away. If an official parcel-specific response does show proximity after all, read the
core, buffer and transition zones separately. National natural monument · nearest published extent:
216.2 km southeast.
LIMIT: No zoning and no individual provision from the applicable protection instrument.
