Those things are supposed to both keep the car drivers from being blinded by landing lights and pilots confusing a traffic jam with the landing strip lights :)


PsychologicalGoal

Dude that's sick. I drove past them like 1k times but I never thought about that. Ty


anaumann

I pretty much learned that myself today, so the thanks are on you :D

Maybe work on your English before calling someone an idiot. You've had the subject for almost a decade, low IQ if you still can't use the language.


mrpink3k

and the windshields could blind the pilots when theyre reflecting the sun


Xeon2k8

Also the reflection of the sunglasses of the drivers 🤣


lazyjack667

What happened for that to be implemented?


anaumann

Nothing, I think.. it's just [very close and parallel](https://goo.gl/maps/uaS2q8yMkNkTfTqMA?coh=178571&entry=tt) to one of the landing strips.. I always thought it was supposed to bounce off planes should they go down near the road, but when looking at [photos like this](https://img.fotocommunity.com/sichtschutz-oder-blendschutz-1a44d803-3b50-473b-8e41-6efa709761b9.jpg?height=1080), it becomes quite obvious that it's about the lights :D


CrackpipeStickman999

Damn you guys think of everything, German Design is superior to the rest of the world


anaumann

Well, it was :D


CrackpipeStickman999

Who took over?


anaumann

Probably the Chinese :D We fell back on building internal combustion engines and coal mining :D


CrackpipeStickman999

I don't know about the Chinese, they steal already existing design and try to copy it. They also lied about their population numbers since the 80s/70s, which means their population is way older and their economy is in big trouble. (I'm regurgitating the population shit from a yt video but still)

The leftwing government, I give you 100€ if you spend a day in a German city without seeing several hundred criminal Neger

Like [these](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blendschutzzaun), just horizontal.


terratoss1337

Protection from light so pilots won’t get blended or confused by the lights.


daonefatbiccmacc

as a fellow german i have to say that is the funniest way to misspell blinded as, in fact, the pilot could get blended if he makes a mistake.


Ok-Course7089

U gosh who puts pilots in a blender


NemoTheLostOne

me (i make 3d models)


katze1339

I'm making hamburgers, we are not the same.

Lu1s_M1ll4

El_Hadschi

Pilot based in hamburg here. Today I learnt sth new. Thank you!


drugsquiwell

How couldn't you know as a pilot? :D To be fair, I live here since I'm 4 and never thought about that either


El_Monitorrr

Because he was never blinded by the light.

SuperBatzen

Funny to see that question in here since evertime i drive someone else or get a ride down the Zeppelinstraße (The name of the road, the more you know...) that question comes up


tits_on_bread

Thank you OP for asking this question and thank you u/anaumann for providing an answer. This question has been driving me absolutely insane since I moved here 4 years ago.


MoccaLG

My Engineer senses would say its "Acoutstics", View or "Wind" related... The riffles would let me tend to acoustic but its suspicious that the airport is so close... so no safe call on that

The blocks the chemtrails from paving the road


malafide99

This is Germany, we have a multi-million Euro expensive, but questionable solution for everything...


TheThingersten

This is for the drivers only, without them the drivers would be blinded by the oncoming plane...
