Aircraft noise
The proximity to Frankfurt Airport means that Mainz is exposed to a high level of aircraft noise. The state of Hesse has drawn up noise maps, including noise mapping of Frankfurt Airport. The results of the noise mapping can be viewed in the measurement reports.
Aircraft noise is a key issue in the field of noise protection. The impact on the population of Mainz has increased dramatically once again with the opening of the new north runway in September 2011. With the unanimous city council decision to use all means necessary to combat the steadily increasing aircraft noise pollution, the city of Mainz has been committed to representing the interests of citizens affected by aircraft noise at the political, legal, and technical levels since 2000.
On February 7, 2008, the city of Mainz filed a lawsuit against the planning approval decision at the Hessian Administrative Court in Kassel. The statement of claim is available for download at the bottom of the page.
