Why — the layers that apply here

protected zone
4 areas: Hamburger Unterelbe · Elbe zwischen Geesthacht und Hamburg · Borghorster Elblandschaft · Besenhorster Sandberge und Elbinsel
Protected-area designation: the rule of the protected area applies here in addition to the municipal one, and it usually makes the penalty harsher.
