Procedure details

The claims arise from the Aircraft Noise Protection Act (FluLärmG) in connection with the location of land or buildings within protection zones.

The FluLärmG defines three protection zones within a noise protection area; two protection zones for the day (day protection zone 1 and day protection zone 2) and one protection zone for the night (night protection zone). The noise protection area comprises the area outside the airfield site. The noise protection zone for the respective airfield is determined by an ordinance issued by the state government.

If a construction ban in accordance with Section 5 (1) sentences 1 and 2 or (2) sentence 1 FluLärmG removes the previously permitted construction use and this results in a not insignificant reduction in the value of the property, the owner may demand appropriate financial compensation. The owner may also demand appropriate financial compensation if the prohibition of construction results in a loss in value of expenses for preparations for the constructional use of the property that the owner has made in reliance on the continuation of the previously permitted constructional use.

The competent authorities in Bavaria are the

  • Government of Upper Bavaria - Air Office of Southern Bavaria for the administrative districts of Upper Bavaria, Lower Bavaria and Swabia
  • Government of Middle Franconia - Air Office North Bavaria for the administrative districts of Upper, Middle and Lower Franconia and the Upper Palatinate.

Compensation is determined on application by the owner. This must be submitted to the responsible aviation authority. The application can be made informally.
