Points of departure from a soil protection perspective

• German conference of Länder ministers for environment supports the idea to counter balance measures that increase soil permeability with interventions in nature. In specific cases, this can include demolition measures. (63th conference of Länder ministers for environment, Nov 04)

• German conference of Länder ministers for spatial development agrees to the national sustainability strategy. One of its objective is the substantial reduction of land consumption by settlement and infrastructure until 2020. Settlement activities should concentrate on inner development of cities and municipalities. (36th conference of Länder ministers for spatial development, Jun 09)

• Already from 2000 to 2006 Saxony earmarked substantial resources for funding quarter development and brownfield revitalisation by using ERDF funds. This earmarking was continued in the period 2007 to 2013, supplemented by the administrative regulation of the Saxon Ministry of Interior on revitalisation of brownfields in 2009.

• On 28/04/09 an action programme was launched for reduction of land consumption in Saxony as main target of a sustainable development strategy.

• The current governing coalition in Saxony agreed (1) to provide sufficient space for industrial settlements, (2) to reduce land consumption. (Coalition treaty Saxony, Sep 09).

• The current governing coalition in Germany agreed to give priority to recycling of space and compaction of inner city areas over additional land consumption. Brownfield registers have to be improved. (Coalition treaty German Federation, Oct 09).

Points of departure from a regional administration´s view

Brownfields are an important field of action because of building law relevance,environmental law relevance,relevance for municipal budgeting,relevance for spatial development,for economic-political implications,tourist relevance.

- Urban regenerationold building quarters are prone to neglection, modernisation necessary

- Urban conversionenhancing traditional urban regeneration, urban development has to be adapted to decreasing

population and difficult economic framework conditions with permanent apartment vacancies

- Interim usesSpaces currently out of use are not permanently re-directed to other uses because of lacking

perspectives (e.g. demolition with interim greening)

- RenaturationConversion of vacant buildings and permanent brownfields by renaturation as upgrading measure


In awareness of these necessities and options, in responsibility for finding solutions, and in awareness, that these solutions cannot be reached without partners in municipalities and counties

the regional work group „Brownfields“

was founded in 2000 on initiative of the president in the district Chemnitz with following tasks:

• cross-sectoral and cross-border bunching,

• support of revitalisation of selected brownfields,

• set-up of a database with the objective to compile, evaluate, and develop brownfields

The brownfield register was developed as a computerised tool and improved from 2005 onwards. It is continuously fed with internal information from the regional state administration, but also external information from the media. Further actors, especially economic development agencies and environmental administrations were included in the work group und their data inserted in the database.


Advantages of the brownfield register

for the regional state office: basis for assessment and actions, e.g. for targeted allocation of funds as well as spatial development recommendations

for municipalities: source of information and basis for action regarding spatial plannings and investments

promotion of revitalisation of brownfields

for potential byers: brownfields can be marketed via a computer-based system for development agencies and – if released – also via internet (KWIS – Kommunales Wirtschafts-Informations-System)

relevant information for public planning agencies, e.g. for checking suitability as compensating area

precise information on land and buidlings

profound information, incl. owner and municipal contact option

for owners: free-of-charge marketing with high efficiency


Steps towards the brownfield register

• Continuous registering of brownfields from 2005 onwards using KWIS 2.7

currently 3924 datasets

• Promotion of municipal brownfield registers

amongst others cities of Brand-Erbisdorf, Chemnitz, Freiberg, Plauen, Reichenbach/Vogtl.

• Import of municipal data in the KWIS 2.7 database of the regional state office Chemnitz

• Migration of all internal data from KWIS 2.7 into KWIS.net

currently > 4232 Datensätze

• Latest development: consistency checks, supplementation, and additions of new data sets by the municipalities via the free-of-charge online tool KWIS.web

• Decision of municipality together with owner regarding marketing in internet




Ausblick

• Anleitung der Kommunen- und Landkreise im Umgang mit der Online-Ein-/Ausgabemaske (KWIS.web)

• Kontinuierliche Erweiterung und Pflege des Katasters durch die Gemeinden und Betreuung durch PG Brachen der Landesdirektion

• Stufenweise Vervollständigung der Datensätze auch durch die Projektgruppe als Informations- und Handlungsbasis im Hinblick auf Angaben zum Flächenverbrauch und zur Wiedereingliederung von Brachflächen in Wirtschafts- oder Naturkreislauf für Gemeinden, Landkreise und die Landesdirektion

• Gemeindeübergreifendes Informationsportal zum interkommunalen Interessensausgleich

• Schaffung fachlicher Grundlagen für die Brachenbewertung in Hinblick auf Nach-nutzungsmöglichkeiten, insbesondere auf Grundlage der Erfahrungen des LfULG

• Schaffung einer rechnergestützten Bewertung der Brachflächen

• Erfassung / Verknüpfung der geographischen Lage im / mit dem KWIS

• Modellhafte Überführung des Kataster für die Arbeit im gesamten Land(vorrangige Maßnahme im sächsischen Handlungsprogramm zur Reduzierung der Flächeninanspruchnahme)


Zusammenfassung

Erfassen KWIS.net, KWIS.web

Bewerten Bündelungsfunktion für die vielfältigen Ansätze im Direktionsbezirk

Mobilisieren Zusammenstellung aller notwendigen Informationen für die Kommunen auf der LDC-HomepageEinbringung des gesamten Sachverstandes des LDC in die Lösung der Brachenproblematik
