Hunting seasons and closed seasons in Brandenburg are an important part of hunting regulation, which takes into account both the interests of hunters and the need to protect species and preserve animal populations. It is important to understand the difference between these two terms:

• Hunting seasons refer to the time windows during which hunting of certain animal species is allowed. They are set to ensure sustainable hunting without endangering a species' population. Hunting seasons are based on the biological conditions of the animals, such as reproduction and rearing of young.
• Closed seasons, on the other hand, are periods during which hunting of certain animal species is expressly prohibited. They serve to protect animals during particularly sensitive periods, such as the breeding season or the rearing of young animals.

The exact definition of hunting and closed seasons varies depending on the species and serves to balance the needs of hunters with the preservation of a healthy and stable animal population. In Brandenburg, these seasons are regulated by law to ensure sustainable management of native wildlife. The specific hunting seasons for the various animal species in Brandenburg are detailed below.
