Is there any specific regulation for fishing in Germany in rivers and lakes? how can I find those regulations?
Is there any specific regulation for fishing in Germany in rivers and lakes? how can I find those regulations?
Specially for state of Bremen in North-West.
Bremen is a very interesting city and has the only medieval town hall in Europe that has never been burnt down or otherwise destroyed though it did get a new facade in medieval times and has had a number of restoration projects completed on various sections of it more recently.
Bremen is a free city of the Hanseatic League now incorporated into Federal Germany and has a huge shipping industry and port. It is an hour by train from both Hamburg and Hanover, both worth visiting.
It stands on the River Weser which has some very good fishing and the river has been the subject of many river crossings on military exercises for much of it’s length…..by night most often, without light and with trepidation at times as the first of the tanks made their way across a newly built temporary bridge again built by night without lights and mostly without sound.
Such happy days of memory now, silently bridging the dear and lovely Weser of northern Germany.

The best general info site for Gemany That I know is this, which has a lot of information on nearly all aspects of living in or visiting Germany.

German nationals do a course on basic fish biology, river ecology and safety and pass an exam at the end of the course before they can get a fishing license. The course costs a lot of money.
Once passed, the result is for life as a qualification but the license itself lasts for only one year and the next year another has to be bought. It’s quite pricey.
When they have a license they can apply for a fishing permit for any paricular water.
Visitors to Germany must also complete an exam course in order to get a tourist fishing license valid for a maximum of one month and you need to give notice of your arrival date so an arrangement can be made for you to do the short version of the course and take the exam.
That is the standard basic way of things throughout Germany and is covered by Federal Law.
As an aside, here is the Basic Federal Law of Germany which may make useful reading either for general interest or specific areas you may want to get some info about.

However there are a lot of places now which waiver that requirement for a fishing license for visitors although you will still need to get a tourist fishing permit which again is valid for one month maximum.

In the Bremen visitor websites there is only a mention of no license being necessary if fishing in private ponds and the site below is unclear about the position of reagarding licenses in Bremen for lakes and rivers.
Here is a brief overview of the position in each of the states of Germany, in sometimes poor translation.

Not much, but a word with local fishing shop staff or a call into the Rathaus or Stadtampt in Bremen or Bremerhaven or any police station might produce a better result.
Enjoy some good fishing anyway if you manage to get some done

Regulations are set specifically for your area.
Your best bet to find these regulations is tog go to your local bait, tackle, or fishing shop and ask as many questions as you like. It is there job to answer as well as make sure the public knows the fishing laws, rules, and regulations. So this meens that you can ask however many questions you want. The better news is that they can’t legally get angry haha.
But seriously consult an employee at a shop relevant to fishing and im sure he can take good care of you.
