Apply for a building permitYou would like to build a house in Wunstorf and therefore apply for a building permit. Her place of residence is currently Hanover. You must indicate the place where the house is to be built. In this case it is Wunstorf.

Bird flu


Avian influenza is an animal disease that can occur in poultry, particularly chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese, but also in other poultry, swans and other wild birds. The official name is therefore "avian influenza".

There are different types of this disease, which are pathogenic for animals in different ways , e.g. the virus types H5N1 or H7N7. Transmission to humans is possible in individual cases through intensive contact with infected poultry, but not through the consumption of poultry products, especially if they have been heated.

Since the first case of bird flu in wild birds in Germany, stricter protective measures have been in place nationwide in infection areas and in so-called risk areas, where the transmission of the virus from wild birds to domestic poultry is higher than in other areas.
