The District of Teltow-Fläming at a glance
Teltow-Fläming District lies in southern Berlin's surroundings and extends from the boundary of the capital to Lower Fläming. The district seat is Luckenwalde, the most populous city is Ludwigsfelde in the north. Brandenburg is not divided into administrative regions; the district belongs directly to the state of Brandenburg.
Naturally, the district divides as follows: The north belongs to the Central Brandenburg plains and lowlands (natural region D12) with the Teltow ground moraine plain and the Nuthe, Notte and ice-margin valley lowlands. The south is part of the Fläming (natural region D11), an old-Pleistocene plateau with extensive pine forests. Characteristic are sandy, nutrient-poor soils, inland dunes and ice-age ice-margin valleys.
Ecologically significant are the extensive sand heaths of the former Jüterbog and Heidehof military training areas, one of Germany's largest inland dune and flying sand areas, and the Nuthe-Nieplitz lowland with its fens and wet meadows. Large parts are part of the European Natura 2000 network as FFH and bird protection areas, supplemented by the Heidehof-Golmberg nature reserve and Nuthe-Nieplitz nature park.
The economy is characterised by the Berlin surroundings: logistics and commerce around the Großbeeren freight logistics centre, industrial sites in Ludwigsfelde and ongoing settlement pressure in the northern commuter zone. These projects regularly trigger impacts. In Brandenburg, compensation follows sections 13 to 15 BNatSchG and the Guidance for implementing the impact mitigation regulation (HVE), it is derived through verbal argumentation and should compensate significant impacts generally at least on an area-equal basis and ideally within the affected natural region.

✅ greeNature on the ground
greeNature operates nationwide and is familiar with Brandenburg regulations. For Teltow-Fläming, we know verbal argumentation assessment according to HVE, the land pool regulation requirements for measure and land pools, and coordination with the lower nature conservation authority in Luckenwalde. From the sand heaths of conversion sites through Nuthe lowlands, we plan compensation measures that fit the natural region and gain official recognition.
Typical measures in the district of Teltow-Fläming
Heath and sand dry grassland management
On the extensive sand areas of the former Jüterbog and Heidehof military training areas, removal of encroaching vegetation, mowing and extensive grazing maintain Calluna heaths and open sand dry grasslands as habitat for thermophile species.
Forest conversion
Transformation of structurally poor pine forests of Fläming to site-appropriate pine-oak and deciduous mixed forests with greater structure, deadwood proportion and habitat diversity.
Lowland restoration
Rewetting of drained lowland bogs and wet meadows in the Nuthe-Nieplitz lowland and Baruther ice-margin valley through water level raising and removal of drainage ditches.
Grassland extensification
Conversion of intensively managed arable and grassland areas in ice-margin valleys to species-rich extensively managed grassland as habitat for meadow-breeding birds and insects.
Species protection CEF/FCS
Tailored measures for sand lizard on sandy sites and embankments and bat roosts in bunker systems of former military sites plus new amphibian waters, coordinated according to section 44 BNatSchG.
Small water bodies and habitat networks
Establishment and restoration of ponds and small water bodies plus hedges and stepping-stone habitats for connecting habitats in the cleared agricultural landscape.
Protected species in the Fläming, Nuthe-Nieplitz and southern Berlin boundary
Sand lizard
The large sand and heath areas of the former military training areas rank among the region's most important sand lizard habitats. In construction and infrastructure projects on sandy sites, it is a frequent CEF target species under section 44 BNatSchG.
About this species ›Bats
Bunkers, cellars and ammunition facilities of conversion sites near Jüterbog provide important winter roosts, including for Bechstein's bat. Roost safeguarding and replacement roosts are typical compensation measures.
About this species ›Woodlark and crested lark
Open heaths, sand dry grasslands and the extensive agricultural landscape are habitat for woodlark and crested lark. Extensification and larch windows strengthen populations in the open landscape.
About this species ›Amphibians
In the small water bodies and wet lowlands of the Nuthe-Nieplitz region live red-bellied toad, marsh frog and common spadefoot. Newly created, fish-free spawning waters are effective compensation measures.
About this species ›Great crested newt
The great crested newt inhabits the numerous ponds and small water bodies of the ground moraine plains. As an Annex II species of the FFH Directive, it requires particular attention for impacts and suitable replacement waters.
About this species ›Black stork
The undisturbed, moist forests of Fläming and the lowlands offer the black stork breeding and feeding habitats. For projects near forests, FCS measures under section 45 para. 7 BNatSchG may be required.
About this species ›Which projects trigger a compensation obligation?
Logistics and commerce
Großbeeren freight logistics centre and commerce and logistics sites around Ludwigsfelde and along the motorways rank among the region's fastest-growing. Site sealing through halls, warehouses and traffic areas regularly triggers compensation obligations under the impact mitigation regulation.
Transport and infrastructure
The southern Berlin Ring (A10), the A13 and federal roads and expansion of rail lines towards Dresden and Leipzig lead to impacts on nature and landscape that must be compensated according to sections 13 to 15 BNatSchG.
Settlement development in Berlin's surroundings
In the northern commuter zone (Blankenfelde-Mahlow, Rangsdorf, Großbeeren, Ludwigsfelde), ongoing immigration creates new residential and commercial areas with corresponding compensation requirements.
Renewable energy
Photovoltaic free-field systems on conversion and arable sites and wind energy in Fläming require statutory nature conservation compensation and sometimes species protection CEF and FCS measures.
