Even decades after the end of the Second World War, many explosive ordnance and unexploded ordnance still lie undiscovered underground. Due to the effects of weather, chemical decomposition, corrosion or deformation as a result of impact, the sensitivity and thus the danger of found ammunition / ordnance is considerably higher.
If a private individual, company or official institution wishes to carry out construction work on the property, there is an obligation to apply for an inspection of the property. Military explosives can remain effective almost indefinitely. In addition, safety elements may have been rendered inoperative by launching or dropping. Change of position, mechanical action, or even picking up an explosive device can trigger detonation. There is therefore a risk to life when handling explosive ordnance / found munitions.
- Requesting the inspection of the property;
- Ensuring the explosive ordnance disposal service, within the scope of its possibilities, that hazard-free work can be carried out in the civil engineering segment during construction projects;
- On areas classified as suspicious areas, where interventions in the building ground (this can also be the case with demolitions!) are to be carried out or where filling or sealing of areas is planned, there is an obligation to have these areas examined. Only the police are responsible for this classification of "suspected areas".
These inquiries are obligatory by law.
If a property is searched by a framework contract company for the construction of a single-family house and a bomb unexploded ordnance is detected and recovered, the work to uncover the unexploded ordnance is liable to pay costs for the owner.
The costs of disarming, possibly blasting, as well as of destroying and removing the explosive ordnance are borne by the State of Bremen. These measures are part of the state's danger averting tasks.
