Maneuver damage; application for compensation

Claims are settled as follows:

• Damage caused by guest armed forces alone or jointly with the Bundeswehr (joint maneuvers) is handled by the responsible Federal Claims Settlement Office at the Federal Real Estate Agency:
  • for Bavaria excluding the administrative district of Lower Franconia: Regional Office South
  • for the administrative district of Lower Franconia: Regional Office East
     
• Damage caused by the Bundeswehr alone must be reported to the local municipal administration. The latter will forward the applications to the relevant Bundeswehr Service Center, which will then arrange the further steps for payment of compensation.

Claims for compensation should be asserted immediately. In the case of maneuver damage caused by guest forces alone or jointly with the Bundeswehr, claims must be submitted in writing to the competent regulatory body within three months of the date on which the injured party became aware of the damage and the involvement of the (foreign) armed forces.
