The landscape program for the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg of July 14, 1997 is the legal basis for the landscape program and the Hamburg law implementing the Federal Nature Conservation Act. The competent authority thus has the planning mandate to define the goals of nature conservation and landscape conservation for Hamburg and to update them if necessary or as required. The landscape program fulfills this legal mandate to protect human life and health and to take responsibility for future generations in populated and unpopulated areas.
