Eco-points and compensation areas in
Berlin
Eco-points and compensation areas for projects in the state of Berlin, assessed under the Berlin Procedure. greeNature operates nationwide and knows the Berlin nature conservation authorities and the practice of the impact mitigation regulation.
Assessment under Berliner Verfahren
At around 891 square kilometres, Berlin is Germany's largest city state by area. As a unitary municipality, the state is divided into twelve boroughs, which act as subordinate administrative units; there are no districts or administrative regions. Despite the dense development, around a quarter of the city area consists of forest and green space, shaped by waterways such as the Spree and Havel and landscapes such as the Grunewald, the Tegeler Forst and the Müggelsee in the south-east.
The Berlin Procedure for the Assessment and Balancing of Impacts is decisive for statutory nature-conservation compensation in Berlin. It implements the impact mitigation regulation under §§ 13 to 15 BNatSchG together with the Berlin Nature Conservation Act and assesses impact and compensation on the basis of 21 value carriers. Compensation measures can be implemented in advance and stockpiled in value points via the statutory nature-conservation eco-account under § 16 BNatSchG. greeNature allocates your project to the Berlin assessment system and provides suitable compensation.
🌿 Ecological features
- City state and unitary municipality; the impact mitigation regulation is handled alongside the main approval by the authorising authority, in the so-called piggyback procedure (Huckepack-Verfahren)
- Berlin Procedure established in 1994 and updated several times to reflect current requirements
- High proportion of green space with forests, parks and waterways such as the Grunewald, Müggelsee, Spree and Havel
- Statutory nature-conservation eco-account for the advance implementation and stockpiling of compensation measures
- Growing importance of climate adaptation and sponge city (Schwammstadt) approaches in the assessment of compensation measures
