5. PROTECTION AND MANAGEMENT OF THE PROPERTY
5.d Existing plans related
to municipality and region
in which the proposed
property is located (e.g.
regional or local plan,
conservation plan, tourism
development plan)
Th e national and international protection
regimes outlined in chapter 5.b for the fi ve
component areas clearly show that there
is a management concept spanning the
Länder and administrative structures while
taking account of the distribution of
the fi ve areas on four Länder with diff erent
admin is trative structures.
Th e federal system's peculiarities result in
diff ering regional and local administrative
structures for the nominated component
parts. Planning tasks including spatial
planning are performed by the Länder as
well as the regional and local adminis trations
in their respective fi eld of competence.
Beside the relevant designation as protected
areas and the appurtenant international
acknowledgements (e.g. biosphere reserve,
Natura 2000), there are extensive spatial
plannig for all component parts (tab. 5.3).
Th ese are implemented following the overriding
protection ordinances, prioritising
the protect ion of the outstanding universal
value “of undisturbed, complex temperate
forests and exhibit the most complete and
comprehensive ecological patterns and
processes of pure stands of European beech
across a variety of environmental conditions”
(outstanding universal value of the
World Heritage “Primeval Beech Forests
