Eco-points and compensation areas in
Saxony-Anhalt
Eco-points and compensation areas in Saxony-Anhalt, assessed under the state's assessment model and maintained via the Eco-Account Ordinance. greeNature operates nationwide and knows the procedures of the local authorities.
Assessment under ÖkokontoVO LSA / Bewertungsmodell Sachsen-Anhalt
Saxony-Anhalt extends from the sparsely populated Altmark in the north, across the fertile Magdeburger Börde with its black-earth soils, to the Harz in the south-west. It is also shaped by the Fläming, the Dübener Heide, the Saale-Unstrut area and the near-natural floodplains along the central Elbe. This diversity of landscapes brings very different baseline values for areas and biotope types, which must be precisely captured when assessing impact and compensation.
The basis for statutory nature-conservation compensation is the impact mitigation regulation under §§ 13 to 15 BNatSchG in conjunction with the state's nature conservation law. For assessment, Saxony-Anhalt uses its own assessment model. Each biotope type is assigned a biotope value on a scale of 0 to 30 value points, based on criteria such as naturalness, rarity and restorability. The difference between the value before and after a measure gives the creditable eco-points.
Under the Eco-Account Ordinance (ÖkokontoVO), compensation measures can be implemented before a specific impact occurs and stockpiled in an eco-account. The eco-points generated in this way can later be credited towards impact projects, and trading in eco-account land and crediting entitlements is generally possible. The Federal Compensation Ordinance (BKompV) may additionally apply to projects approved under federal law.
🌿 Ecological features
- The state's own assessment model, with biotope values on a scale of 0 to 30 value points, as the basis for assessment
- Eco-account under the ÖkokontoVO: advance measures are stockpiled and later credited towards impacts
- Trading in eco-account land and crediting entitlements is generally permitted
- Species protection requirements under § 44 BNatSchG, often with advance CEF measures to maintain conservation status (FCS)
- Wide range of natural regions from the Altmark and Börde to the Harz and central Elbe floodplains, with very different baseline values for the land
✅ greeNature in Saxony-Anhalt
greeNature works nationwide and is familiar with the responsible lower nature conservation authorities, the State Administrative Office and the assessment requirements in Saxony-Anhalt. We classify impacts under the state's assessment model, review crediting via the eco-account under the ÖkokontoVO, and support project developers from assessment through to a secured compensation area.
Eco-points by natural region
For compensation, the natural region in which the impact occurs is decisive. greeNature offers eco-points in these natural regions:
