The Green Belt Germany is the first all-German nature conservation project:
It was launched on December 9, 1989, shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the peaceful revolution, on the initiative of the BUND Nature Conservation Association in Bavaria e. V.
It refers to the strip of land between the former inner-German border and the border installations on the eastern side.
The 1393 km long and 50-200 m wide strip of land is intended to remain a green belt or become one again.
The strip of land stretches from Travemünde to the border triangle near Hof.
The Green Belt is the largest biotope network in Germany.
Its areas and the associated over 150 nature reserves are home to more than 1200 animal and plant species that are threatened in Germany.
The Green Belt Germany runs almost entirely on the eastern side of the former inner-German border.
If border corrections were in place, however, it can also run through a West German state.
This applies, for example, to the north-eastern bank of the Elbe in what is now Amt Neuhaus in Lower Saxony.
The German Green Belt now has the status of a national natural monument in some of the federal states on whose borders it lies and is part of the Central European section of the European Green Belt.
