history

For the first time since December 1, 1978, Hamburg had its own specialist authority for the environmental policy field, which had previously been divided among various specialist authorities, at that time under the name of the Authority for District Affairs , Nature Conservation and Environmental Design (BBNU).

From January 1, 1985, the authority was called the Environmental Authority . From 1987 the UB also took over the areas of water management, energy and urban waste disposal from the building authority at the time .

After the 2001 general election , the previous environmental authority, the Office for Health from the Authority for Labor, Health and Social Affairs and the Consumer Protection division from the Economic Authority were merged to form the new Authority for Environment and Health . However, this was dissolved again in April 2004 and the environmental department was merged with the previous authority for building and transport to form the authority for urban development and the environment (BSU).

The agency for the environment and energy existed since July 1st, 2015 . It was formed from several offices and departments of the former BSU. On January 1, 2019, the offices of the BUE were redesigned and, among other things, a new office "Energy and Climate" was created. In 2020, as part of the continuation of the red-green coalition after the state elections in Senate Tschentscher II , the area of agricultural policy was also integrated from the economic authority into the environmental authority and an authority for the environment, climate, energy and agriculture (BUKEA) was created.

Overview of the administrative structure since its establishment in 1978:

Since January 2019, BUKEA has been divided into five offices (comparable to departments in other state ministries):

  • Central tasks, law and participations (ZR),
  • Water, wastewater and geology (W),
  • Nature conservation, green planning and soil protection (N),
  • Immission control and waste management (I) and
  • Energy and Climate (E).

The management of the authorities is supported in an advisory capacity by the deputation , consisting of the senator (chairman) and 15 voluntary civil members (deputies) elected by the Hamburg parliament .

Service building

BUKEA headquarters in Wilhelmsburg, architects: Sauerbruch Hutton

The headquarters of BUKEA and its predecessor authority has been at Neuenfelder Straße 19 in Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg since July 2013 . The service building is one of the most modern buildings ( KW70 standard ). It uses only 70 kilowatt hours of primary energy per square meter per year. The building, which was built by the Hamburger Sprinkenhof GmbH according to plans by the architects Sauerbruch Hutton , was part of the International Building Exhibition (IBA) 2013. At that time, a new urban quarter was created from a former fallow area in the center of Wilhelmsburg, which, in addition to many IBA buildings, was created also the area of ​​the International Garden Show 2013 belongs.
