Angerlandvergleich describes as a concise catchphrase the court settlement for the expansion of Düsseldorf Airport , which was closed on May 13, 1965 before the Münster Higher Administrative Court .

The background to this was the increasing burden on the communities surrounding the airport due to aircraft noise and their lawsuit against the airport company and the state of North Rhine-Westphalia to limit the expansion of the airport.

Name factor was the then six rural communities around together closing to the airport as a local authority, 1,975 in the larger municipalities Dusseldorf , Duisburg , Mülheim an der Ruhr and Ratingen as successors risen Office Angerland whose name in turn from the north and east of the airport located lower reaches of the Anger stream originates.

The results of the comparison were essentially

  • confirmation of the night start ban between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.,
  • limiting the length of the main runway,
  • the limitation of the use of the second runway to peak times or as a replacement when the main runway is not available and
  • the obligation of the airport to protect the population from noise in the best possible way according to the state of the art.

The importance of the comparison remained unbroken even decades later and was fundamentally confirmed by the Higher Administrative Court for the State of North Rhine-Westphalia in 2002. Only "in individual cases" should "changed circumstances" allow an adjustment.
