Extensive green roofs help to relieve surface waters of pollutant inputs. With this in mind, the Senator for the Environment, Climate and Science wants to encourage Bremen residents to take the initiative and provide grants to promote extensive green roofs.

Funding is available for the installation of green roofs on new buildings and the retrofitting of existing roofs with extensive or intensive greenery. All costs incurred in connection with the measure from the upper edge of the roof waterproofing are eligible for funding. Measures to improve the load-bearing capacity of roofs in connection with green roofs are also eligible for funding.

Funding is available for up to 25% of the eligible costs of an installation, up to a maximum of 5,000 euros. The maximum funding amount per square meter of greened area is 25 euros. In the event of unforeseen additional costs during the construction phase, subsequent approval can be applied for in writing. However, the total funding of 5,000 euros may not be exceeded. Personal contributions are not included in the funding.
