Procedure details

Hunting protection includes, in particular, the protection of game from poachers, food shortages, game diseases, from interference by animal species not subject to hunting law, insofar as these are not subject to special protection under nature conservation law, from unsupervised dogs and cats, as well as ensuring compliance with the regulations issued for the protection of game and hunting.

The lower hunting authority (district administrative authority) is responsible for the confirmation of hunting supervisors.

Confirmation as a game warden may only be refused if the game warden does not hold a valid annual hunting license or if there are concerns about their personal reliability or professional suitability. These grounds for refusal are mandatory.

Professional suitability requires sufficient practical experience and knowledge of the relevant legal provisions.

As a rule, there are no objections to professional suitability if proof is provided of several years of practical experience in managing hunting grounds and of the required knowledge of the tasks and powers of confirmed gamekeepers. As a rule, this knowledge is demonstrated by successfully completing a course geared towards the activities of a game warden. Proof of the required knowledge can also be provided through previous forestry, police or legal training or in another way.

  • The following documents are required:
    • Confirmation of participation in a course for gamekeepers
    • Current photograph of the hunting supervisor
    • if applicable, hunting license (copy)
    • Proof of several years of practical experience, if applicable

The confirmation of hunting wardens must be applied for at the lower hunting authority.

Cost range: EUR 7.50 to EUR 20 plus the cost of the badge

(see tariff no. 6.I.1/1.52 of the Annex to Section 1 of the Ordinance on the Enactment of the Schedule of Costs under the Costs Act (Kostenverzeichnis - KVz))
