Basic information
The aviation authority is, in addition to the trade supervisory office, the responsible body for issuing permits for the ascent of fireworks, provided that the ascent site is located in the state of Bremen (Bremen and Bremerhaven) and there is an airfield within a radius of 1.5km.
Airfields in the state of Bremen are considered to be:
- Bremen commercial airport
- Helicopter special landing field Klinikum Bremen-Mitte,
- Helicopter special landing field Klinikum Bremen Links der Weser,
- Helicopter special landing pad Klinikum Bremen-Nord,
- special helipad at the Bremerhaven Reinkenheide Clinic.
In addition, a permit is always required if the ascent height of the fireworks exceeds 300 meters, regardless of the ascent location.
If the planned ascent location is in Lower Saxony, you must contact the Lower Saxony Aviation Authority in Oldenburg to apply for a permit. This also applies if airfields are involved that are located in Bremen, but the ascent site is in Lower Saxony.
