Chimney in the masonry and not in front of it

that's just a later emergency solution.

With all due respect - that is nonsense!

no construction company wanted to do something like that at all. so around here in the north it's really frowned upon.

In the north, roller shutters are also frowned upon; for the people of Neuß, a house is only a house if facing bricks are installed, and beyond the Weißwurst border, wood is the be-all and end-all. So what now?

There are many modern architectures where a classic chimney stack simply looks out of place; in contrast, the flue made of stainless steel is the icing on the cake and harmoniously rounds off the appearance. Additional plus – the chimney sweep’s dirt always stays outside.

Anyone building classically and therefore wanting a classic chimney stack can also have it installed outside, on the exterior wall. However, in my view it only looks good if the chimney stack can be placed on the gable side.

So that the chimney is basically set into the wall, I have never heard of that!?

I have a similar problem....
My chimney is already standing (picture from the ground floor hallway) almost against the wall, there is about 0.5-1.0 cm of air between.

I understand it so that between the load-bearing wall and the chimney, 2 cm of insulation material is added so that the chimney can "work."
Otherwise, cracks in the plaster or even in the wall are inevitable, right??

I talked to the builder about it, he said that mortar will be applied in between, then the joint will be cut out and sealed with acrylic, and nothing should happen??

Can anyone confirm this??

Nope.... here in the north people also use it as a design element in modern new buildings

my chimney is already (picture of the ground floor hallway) almost touching the wall, there is still about 0.5-1.0 cm of space between.

When the plaster is on, your gap will be gone

I am aware of that
my question is whether it will be concerning in the future because of cracks or similar?
