Landschaftsschutzgebiete
What this layer shows
Areas designated under § 26 BNatSchG where the functioning of the natural balance, the character of the landscape or its value for recreation is specifically protected. Subject to the site ordinance, anything that alters the character of the area or conflicts with the purpose of protection is prohibited; in practice this is the framework against which development in the open countryside is most often judged. The underlying data is what Germany last reported to the European Environment Agency; the legally binding boundary is the ordinance held by the competent nature conservation authority.

Schutzgebiete
Every area-based protection at once: Natura 2000, nature and landscape protection areas, national parks, national natural monuments and biosphere reserves with their three zones, plus the nature parks and Ramsar sites the states publish and the European return leaves out. Nationwide, the nature parks excepted.
Bestandsaufnahme
Where an ecological consultant or a planning office starts: the protected-site network, the small designations, natural monuments and protected landscape components, the biotopes protected by law, the Annex I habitat types with their critical loads, and the species records. The small designations and biotopes are available where that state publishes them openly.
