The District of Landsberg am Lech at a glance
The district of Landsberg am Lech is located in the west of the administrative region Upper Bavaria, on the border with the administrative region of Swabia. The Lech, which flows through the district from south to north and, with its barrages and the adjoining Lechheiden, determines the landscape, is the namesake and landscape-defining feature. The district reaches to the Ammersee in the east, to the Pfaffenwinkel in the south.
Geologically, the district is divided into two parts. The west and the Lech lowland belong to the Lech-Wertach plains (BfN natural region D64) with Pleistocene shale terraces and loess deposits. The east around the Ammersee belongs to the Ammer-Loisach Hilly Country (natural region D66), a relief-rich hilly landscape shaped by Würm ice-age terminal and ground moraines of the Isar foreland glacier with numerous moorland and dead-ice basins.
Ecologically, the district is regionally significant. The Lechheiden are among Bavaria's most species-rich calcareous grasslands, and the Lech valley is a high-value migration and dispersal corridor. With around 13 Natura 2000 areas (11 FFH areas and 2 EU bird protection areas), including the FFH area Lech between Landsberg and Königsbrunn (7631-372), the Ampermoos (7832-371) and the bird protection areas Ammensee (7932-471) and Middle Lech Valley (8031-471), the district has a dense protected area network.
Economically, the district is characterised by agriculture, small and medium-sized manufacturing and production, supplemented by enterprises in Landsberg, Kaufering, Geltendorf and the Ammersee municipalities as well as strong links with the Munich economic region. The sustained settlement and commercial pressure, the expansion of transport routes (A96, B17, railway line) and freestanding photovoltaics on the Lechfeld regularly generate substantial compensation requirements according to BayKompV.

✅ greeNature on the ground
Our location in Bavaria (Kastl, Lkr. Altötting) is located in the same natural-region surroundings of the pre-Alpine hilly and moorland. We know the Lower Nature Conservation Authority (Untere Naturschutzbehörde) at the District Office Landsberg am Lech, the regional land pools and the particularities of the Lechheiden and moorland from practice.
Typical measures in the district of Landsberg am Lech
Lechheiden care and development
Restoration and care of calcareous grasslands on the Lech terraces through clearing, extensive grazing and mowing. Habitat for rare orchids, heat-loving insects and the sand lizard.
Lech floodplain restoration
Creation of riverbank cliffs, gravel banks and oxbows along the Lech, as well as opening of canalised riverbank sections. Creation of spawning and breeding habitats for fish, little ringed plover and kingfisher.
Moorland and meadow plot protection
Rewetting of drained lowland and transitional moorland at the Ammersee and in the Ampermoos, preservation of meadow plots and carbon sequestration, habitat for meadow-breeding birds and moorland-typical species.
Grassland extensification
Conversion of intensively used meadows in the Lechrain and in the hilly country into species-rich extensively managed grassland, refuge for northern lapwing, whinchat and flower-visiting insects.
Species protection CEF/FCS
Tailored measures according to BayKompV, such as bat roosts, kingfisher cliff banks, sand lizard habitats on railway and road embankments, as well as amphibian guiding facilities.
Hedgerows and habitat network
Creation of hedgerows, field woodlands and stepping-stone habitats in the cleared arable landscape of the Lechfeld, to network habitats between the Lech and Ammersee.
Protected species in the Lechrain, Ammersee and Lechfeld
Sand lizard on the Lechheiden
The warm, dry calcareous grasslands and embankments along the Lech are core habitat of the sand lizard. In the event of impacts, relocation and the new creation of stone accumulations and habitat structures are typical CEF measures.
About this species ›Northern lapwing in meadows and moorland
The northern lapwing breeds in the wet meadows at the Ammersee, in the Ampermoos and in the Lech lowland. Extensification and rewetting secure the undisturbed breeding areas of this meadow-breeding bird.
About this species ›Skylark in the Lechfeld
The open arable landscape of the Lechfeld is habitat of the skylark. Lark windows, flower strips and extensively used field margins are proven compensation measures for land take.
About this species ›Bats in south-western Upper Bavaria
The district is home to significant breeding colonies, including in the FFH area bat colonies in south-western Upper Bavaria (8134-303). Roost securing at buildings and in forests, as well as hunting habitat preservation, are central topics.
About this species ›Amphibians in moorland and floodplains
Tree frog, yellow-bellied toad and great crested newt inhabit small water bodies in the Ammersee moorland and the Lech floodplain. New construction of sunlit spawning waters is a common compensation measure.
About this species ›Kingfisher on the Lech and Amper
Near-natural riverbank sections with steep banks provide the kingfisher with nesting sites. Riverbank restoration and the modelling of steep banks create new nesting habitats along the watercourses.
About this species ›Which projects trigger a compensation obligation?
Settlement and commercial development
The proximity to the Munich economic region drives residential and commercial area designations in Landsberg, Kaufering, Geltendorf and the Ammersee municipalities. These land takes regularly trigger compensation and replacement obligations according to BayKompV.
Traffic and infrastructure
The expansion of the A96 and B17, bypasses, bridge structures across the Lech, as well as measures on the railway line towards Munich and Buchloe, generate compensation requirements, often combined with species protection measures for sand lizard and field-breeding birds.
Energy and freestanding photovoltaics
Freestanding photovoltaics on the Lechfeld, Lech barrages and further energy projects require nature conservation compensation. greeNature develops nature-conservation-high-value compensation concepts, also in combination with the installation areas.
Industry and business extensions
Extensions of established industrial and commercial enterprises in the district require compensation for sealing and woodland loss. As a full-service partner, greeNature takes on demand determination, land provision and authority coordination.
