However, you should by no means only understand these requirements as a restriction, but above all recognize the positive side of them: If your neighbor is planning to put up a three meter high wall directly on the property line, you can assume that this is not a permissible project.

One third of the height of roof surfaces up to an inclination of 70\u00b0 (complete with an inclination of more than 70\u00b0) is added to this height H. With our tool you can easily calculate this yourself right away. Regardless of these specifications, a minimum distance of 2.5 to 3 meters applies. However, since in Germany the federal states determine the respective building regulations, the distance area regulations in the respective <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bauordnungen.de\/html\/deutschland.html\" target=\"_blank\">state<\/a> building regulations also differ.<\/p><p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bauordnungen.de\/html\/deutschland.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">model building<\/a> regulations (MBO) contain the following specifications with regard to spacing:<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>building area<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Spacer according to MBO<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>minimum distance<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Core areas, residential and mixed areas<\/td><td>0.4H<\/td><td>3 m<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>commercial and industrial areas<\/td><td>0.2H<\/td><td>3 m<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure><figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized rbc-is-hidden-on-mobile\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bautipps.almondia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bautipps.almondia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\" alt=\"spacers\" class=\"wp-image-8722\" width=\"1576\" height=\"895\"\/><\/a><\/figure><p><em><strong>Formula distance area calculation <\/strong><\/em><\/p><p><em>Multiply the building height by the factor <strong>(F)<\/strong> specified in the relevant state building code.

class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Which you can ignore in distance area calculation<\/strong><\/h2><figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote alignleft is-style-solid-color\"><blockquote><p><strong>How far does a house have to be from the property line?<\/strong>\n\nExample Bavaria: In the Bavarian countryside, the building height is multiplied by a factor of 1. A 5.2 meter high house with a 2.4 meter high roof pitched at 45 degrees must have the following distance to the neighboring house:\nTA = 1 * (5.2m + 1\/3 * 2.4m) = 6.0m\nThe distance area is therefore at least 6 meters. Since it is allowed to build more densely in the village center, the factor is reduced to 0.5 here. A distance of at least 3 meters must be kept to the neighboring property.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure><p>Very few houses have a completely vertical facade, but have various projections and recesses. In order not to make the calculation of the distance areas too complicated, however, special components such as bay windows or balconies do not have to be calculated separately. The prerequisite for this is that they do not protrude more than 1.5 meters from the structure. In addition, they may extend over a maximum of one third of the facade surface. For the sake of simplicity, <a href=\"https:\/\/bautipps.almondia.com\/en\/construction-planning\/house-components\/etics-how-do-you-insulate\/\">thermal insulation composite<\/a> systems also fall under this exception rule: up to a thickness of 20 to 25 centimetres, they are simply ignored when calculating the spacing areas. This prevents subsequent <a href=\"https:\/\/bautipps.almondia.com\/en\/construction-planning\/house-components\/insulation\/\">insulation measures<\/a> from pushing the spacers below the minimum required. Nevertheless, builders whose houses are built particularly close to the neighboring property may be restricted in their choice of facade insulation due to the distance area regulation.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile is-image-fill\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/bautipps.almondia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/);background-position:50% 50%\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bautipps.almondia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21020 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\"><p>Our free <strong>prefabricated house<\/strong> calculator shows you the expected costs of your construction project.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/almondia.com\/fertighauskalkulator\/\" style=\"background-color:#000f46\">Calculate the costs of your house project now &gt;<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n<p><\/p><\/div><\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When you can still build on clearance areas<\/h2><p>One might think that clearance areas should logically be kept free of any development.

In addition, they themselves do not have any spacing areas to be observed. This applies at least when those small structures do not exceed certain maximum dimensions.<\/p><p><em>In North Rhine-Westphalia, buildings in clearance areas can have an average wall height of no more than three meters and a maximum length of nine meters.<\/em><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Development plan beats building regulations<\/h2><figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote alignleft is-style-solid-color\">\n<blockquote>\n\n<p><strong>\nHow far does a house have to be from the property line?\n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>\nExample Thuringia: A bungalow with a height of 3.4 meters and an additional roof height of 1.5 meters is to be built on a plot of land. Since the roof angle is less than 70 degrees, the following calculation can be made:<br\/>\nTA = 0.4 * (3.40m + 1\/3 * 1.50m) = 1.56m\nAccording to this calculation, the distance to the neighboring property should therefore be 1.56 meters. However, in Thuringia there is a minimum distance of 3 meters, which is why the bungalow must be built at least 3 meters from the property line.\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote><\/figure><p>The stipulations in the specific <a href=\"https:\/\/bautipps.almondia.com\/bauplanung\/hausplanung\/bebauungsplaene-verstehen\/\">development plans<\/a> are higher than the general specifications in the respective state building codes. This means that if the development plan allows border development, the regulations on clearance areas are no longer applicable. This is the case, for example, with closed <a href=\"https:\/\/bautipps.almondia.com\/en\/construction-planning\/planning-your-house\/building-line-building-line-land-area-that-can-be-built-on-you-need-to-know\/\">building lines<\/a> , which are often defined in urban cores. All new buildings must be built directly on these lines in order to maintain a uniform urban appearance. <\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where the spacers need to be<\/h3><p>\nThe clearance areas must be on the property itself and must not be measured from building to building. In exceptional cases, they may also be on the neighbor&#8217;s property, of course only with his consent. But before you agree to such a request from your friendly neighbor, consider that this also means that you will no longer be allowed to build on the affected area in the future. There are also exceptions if the property borders on public squares, green spaces or streets.
