Regulation 261/2004 is clear: for 720 km, Air Berlin is bound by a compensation obligation if boarding is denied.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.
