Are you the owner of a property located within the relevant noise protection zones of Bremen Airport and would like to have structural noise protection measures reimbursed?

  • Basic information

    The reimbursement of expenses for structural noise abatement measures is possible for property owners whose properties are located in day protection zone 1 or in the night protection zone of the noise abatement area of Bremen Airport.

    • In the case of properties in daytime protection zone 1, the claim is directed toward adequate structural noise protection in living rooms and bedrooms.
    • Properties in the night protection zone are entitled to adequate structural noise protection in bedrooms.

    Requirements

    • The property must be located in day protection zone 1 or the night protection zone of the noise protection area of Bremen Airport.

    • You receive a notice from the authority regarding the location of the property with respect to the noise protection area and its protection zones.
