Eco-points and compensation areas in
Brandenburg
Compensation areas and statutory nature-conservation compensation in Brandenburg, assessed under the impact mitigation regulation of the BNatSchG and the state's own Guidance on Implementation (HVE). greeNature operates nationwide and knows the Brandenburg authorities and regulations.
Assessment under HVE (Eingriffsregelung nach BNatSchG)
Brandenburg is a largely rural territorial state surrounding the capital, Berlin. Extensive pine forests, lake landscapes, watercourses such as the Spree and Havel, and large fen and wetland areas shape the natural region. This diversity of sensitive habitats makes careful statutory nature-conservation compensation necessary for construction projects, infrastructure and land take.
Unlike Baden-Württemberg with its Eco-Account Ordinance or Bavaria with the BayKompV, Brandenburg does not operate a statewide eco-points system. The §§ 13 to 15 BNatSchG and the Guidance on the Implementation of the Impact Mitigation Regulation (HVE) are decisive. The scope of compensation is derived on a verbal-argumentative basis, whereby significant impairments generally must be compensated on at least an area-equivalent basis.
For the advance provision of compensation, the Land Pool Ordinance (FPV) sets out the requirements for measure and land pools and for the eco-account. For certified pools, the scope of compensation can generally be reduced due to their higher nature-conservation value. Compensation should, wherever possible, take place within the natural region affected.

🌿 Ecological features
- No statewide eco-points catalogue: in Brandenburg, the scope of compensation is derived on a verbal-argumentative basis under the HVE.
- The Land Pool Ordinance (FPV) governs measure and land pools as well as the eco-account for advance compensation measures.
- Significant impairments generally must be offset on at least an area-equivalent basis, and compensation should be located within the natural region affected.
- Where species protection under § 44 BNatSchG is affected, CEF measures may be required to safeguard the conservation status of the populations.
