It is about enclosures.

Hello everyone,

This is about a construction project in Schleswig-Holstein, Schleswig-Flensburg area, and I have discovered the following section in our development plan.

Design of non-built-up areas of the property, parking spaces, and enclosures
§92 (1) 3 State Building Code
8.1...
8.2 In all sub-areas, enclosures along the public access areas are permitted as hedges up to a maximum height of 1.20 m or as Friesenwälle. On the property side, wire or metal mesh fences up to a maximum height of 1.00 m may be erected in front.

What does this mean in plain language? Have I understood correctly that I cannot erect any kind of privacy screen? Are there any legal loopholes?

I mean, you can't even sunbathe quietly in the garden in summer without being seen from all sides.

I read somewhere that "living enclosures" are exempt from approval, is that true?

Best regards

8.2, however, refers "only" to the boundary to the street, i.e. to the public access area... A hedge is a living enclosure. You are then allowed to be taller towards the neighbors ;)

That's not correct Yvonne.

On the property side, it is planned lower ;-)

On the property side, wire or metal mesh fences up to a maximum height of 1.00 m may be installed.

That's not correct Yvonne.

On the property side, a lower height is intended ;-)

I probably just overlooked that earlier :(, it's hardly believable... or what does this "installed" actually mean in this case?

Thanks :)

I understand it to mean that from the house side a fence up to 1m is allowed and thereafter a hedge or Friesenwall up to 1.2m.

I always find it awful when people build such huge hedges or even walls.

But where there is no complainant, there is no judge. Just try out what happens if you let the hedge grow higher.

or what does this "vorgesetzt" actually mean in this case?

"1.20 m high hedges or as Frisian embankments" may be planted and in front of them "hedges or Frisian embankments up to 1.20 m high"

There are worse things ;)
