Apply for evaluation of war aerial photographs
Already during the war years and to this day, Lower Saxony was and is still looking for ordnance from the two world wars. However, even at the present time, it must be assumed that large quantities of undetected ordnance are still present in the ground. Even after decades of storing these war burdens in the ground, the danger posed by these various weapons of war has not diminished.
The Explosive Ordnance Disposal Service of Lower Saxony has the opportunity to carry out evaluations of war aerial photographs for you in the run-up to construction measures, which make statements about the extent to which the effects of war have been caused by air raids.

Processing duration
Duration: 1 day to 5 months
Remark: |
Due to the persistently high number of applications, there may be longer processing times. Current times can be found on kbd.niedersachsen.de |
If a valid evaluation is already available for the requested area, you will receive the result immediately. Otherwise, the area must be evaluated. The processing time is influenced by several factors, e.g. the number of applications still to be processed, the sizes of the requested areas, the respective number of war effects to be recorded and the number of images already available. Since the duration cannot be specified exactly due to these factors, only an expected processing time is mentioned in the confirmation of receipt. |
