Landesamt für Bauen und Verkehr Brandenburg

What Landesamt für Bauen und Verkehr Brandenburg does

Landesamt für Bauen und Verkehr Brandenburg (LBV) is a state government authority (Landesbehörde) of the State of Brandenburg, Germany, established in 1991 and operating under the specialist supervision of the Ministerium für Infrastruktur und Landesplanung (MIL). It serves as the central regulatory and administrative body for construction, urban planning, transport, and civil aviation across Brandenburg, delivering services to municipalities, transport operators, businesses, and individual citizens. The agency is led by President Babette Damaske and is organized into four departments: Central Services, Transport, Urban Planning and Building Technology, and the joint Civil Aviation Authority Berlin-Brandenburg (LuBB). With offices in Hoppegarten (headquarters) and Cottbus, LBV holds exclusive statutory authority over construction permits, transport licensing, urban development funding approval, building product market surveillance, and aviation oversight within the state.

The agency's core functions include approving urban development funding (Städtebauförderung) across programs such as "Lebendige Zentren," "Sozialer Zusammenhalt," and "Wachstum und nachhaltige Erneuerung"; administering public transport investment subsidies (ÖPNV-Förderung) including RadPark modular bicycle parking facilities; conducting building technology inspections through the Bautechnisches Prüfamt; managing plan approval procedures (Planfeststellung) for federal roads, railways, and tramways; and operating the Wohnungsmarktbeobachtung housing market observation system. Service delivery is increasingly digitized through the ITAS funding application portal, the digital plan approval management system (o-sp.de), and the XPlanung standardized spatial planning data format, with self-hosted Matomo providing web analytics. The Raumstrukturatlas provides interactive spatial development visualizations covering population, transport, settlement, housing, employment, and infrastructure across the Berlin-Brandenburg capital region.

LBV operates without commercial revenue, funded entirely through the Brandenburg state budget under statutory fee schedules (Gebührengesetze). It coordinates with district offices (Landkreise) and municipal authorities to process applications and implement infrastructure projects. Strategic partnerships include the Verkehrsverbund Berlin-Brandenburg (VBB) for transport planning, the Landesbetrieb Straßenwesen Brandenburg for road infrastructure, and data transmission to the Bundesamt für Logistik und Mobilität (BALM) for EU regulatory compliance under Regulation 1071/2009. IT infrastructure is supported by ZIT-BB, the Brandenburg state IT service provider.
