Military exercises in the Amberg-Sulzbach district: Safety information for citizens!

From April 11, 2026 to May 10, 2026, a large-scale military exercise will take place in the Amberg-Sulzbach district. The U.S. Army exercises, classified as AE26-18, are conducted both during the day and at night. The local administration expressly asks the population to stay away from the training troops' facilities in order to avoid possible dangers.

In this context, the municipality points out that explosives or found ammunition could remain lying around during the exercises and that special caution is therefore required. Citizens who find such items should immediately contact the nearest police station to minimize any potential risks. This note is particularly important because the safety of the population is a high priority during military formation exercises.

Regulations on maneuver damage

In the event of damage caused by the exercises, there are clear rules for compensation. Damage caused either by visiting armed forces or jointly with the Bundeswehr is processed by the federal damage settlement agency, which works through the Federal Agency for Real Estate Tasks - South Regional Office. Damage caused exclusively by the Bundeswehr must be reported to the local municipal administration.

Citizens who wish to make claims should do so immediately - the deadline for making claims is three months from the date of knowledge of the damage and the involvement of the armed forces. The contact person for damage reports in the community is Ms. Seibert, who can be reached on 09624/9203-11 or via email at Seibert@ebermannsdorf.de. A form for applying for compensation can be viewed under the title “Application for compensation for maneuver damage”.

Important information for the population

The municipal administration also provides all necessary information for citizens who may be affected by the maneuver damage. The responsible office building where applications are processed is located at Schloßgraben 3, 92224 Amberg. Office hours are Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Wednesday and Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
