WFS Hunting Rights of the Municipality of Bremen

Hunting districts: Hunting districts in which hunting may be carried out are either self-hunting districts (§ 7 BJagdG) or joint hunting districts (§ 8 BJagdG) cf. § 4 BJagdG. The two laws also regulate how the areas are to be calculated, what is included and how the area boundaries, e.g. on a road, are defined. The hunting right (independently linked to the property of the land) may only be exercised in hunting districts. 1.) Self-hunting(district): This exists if the contiguous base area (forestry, fishing) is at least 75 hectares and is owned by a person or a community of persons (§ 7 BJagdG). 2.) Community hunting(district): A community hunting district arises whenever the size of a self-hunting district (75 hectares, within a municipality) is not reached, as these districts must unite. Self-hunting districts can also be accommodated on request. The Community hunting area must cover at least 250 hectares (including pacified areas). All owners are members of the corresponding hunting cooperative (public law body), which is also entitled to exercise the hunting right, cf. Article 9 of the LJagdG to § 8 BJagdG. Pacified districts: Pacified areas are given where hunting is not carried out by law, so the area is pacified. This is e.g. related to. Buildings intended for people’s stay, in cemeteries or in Schaugehegen, etc. in Bremen. If a landowner refuses to hunt for ethical reasons, he may also apply for pacification. The lower hunting authority may be authorised. Areas “peaceful”. (see Sections 6, 6a BJagdG in conjunction with Article 7 et seq. of the LandJG). 1.) pacified areas with permission for restricted hunting: Hunting rests on lands which do not belong to any hunting district, in pacified districts (e.g. cemeteries) or on areas belonging to a hunting district but which have been pacified on request or ex officio. Limited hunting may be permitted by the lower hunting authority (see Sections 6, 6a BJagdG in conjunction with Article 7 et seq. of the LandJG). 2.) pacified areas without permission to engage in hunting: The fact that the hunting of pacified land is not carried out is the normal case. 3.) Special areas of hunting districts: This is not a hunting concept. Here, only pacified districts (see there) are particularly highlighted.
