Construction area bomb drop zone

Hello,

we have reserved a building plot in the currently last development area in our municipality and actually wanted to buy it. When studying the extensive development plan a bit more intensively and well hidden under „[Nachrichtliche Übernahme und Hinweise]“ we found the following information.

The scope of the development plan lies within a bomb drop area. In the area of land-use planning, it must therefore be assumed that there are unexploded ordnances underground.

Does this now mean that we have to have the property examined before building can take place? Who bears the costs? Can this be regulated in the purchase contract, the seller (municipality) assumes the costs for this?

I don't know if this applies everywhere, but here in NRW/Kaarst it was like this:

The building permit contained a note that there was a disposal area nearby, the architect made a request to the appropriate office asking for an aerial image analysis. This led to no result, so the excavation was carried out with usual caution.

As far as I know, a forced on-site search would have to be paid for by the builder (including the aerial image analysis).

Disposal in case of doubt is the responsibility of the state (including costs). At least in this respect, the builder is then off the hook, which does not mean that a few euros won't remain (construction delay/filling etc...).

I almost believe that is (almost) everywhere ...

@toxicmolotow No result = the request was not fulfilled or nothing was found in the evaluation? Were any costs incurred for this? And what exactly do you mean by the forced search? You requested voluntarily, who could force someone and how does that work? Hopefully, we will start soon, we are 40km from Kaarst.

I almost believe it says (almost) everywhere ...

You can hardly believe it, but: No

Rhenish greetings

Bomb drop zone? No! For us, they were "Celtic graves" – so old skeletons that were suspected (quickly throw the bones over to the neighbor and keep digging).
