Kniestock Danwood House in Schleswig-Holstein - What is the maximum possible?

And it states the elevation of the land above [NN]. It always comes out to around 9.5 m.

Correct, now I just need to know how high the knee wall is allowed to be. I hope someone can help with this matter.

now I just need to know how high the knee wall is allowed to be.

I couldn't find any limitation on that. Accordingly, the knee wall height would only be "limited" by the ridge height.

Let's assume the following values: raw floor level on the ground floor at "0.00", story height ground floor 285 cm, floor structure in the attic 16 cm (from which I assume you want to measure the knee wall height), then the finished floor in the attic is at "3.01".

Now we add your desired knee wall of 2.00 m to that: result: "5.01". At 46° roof pitch you would still be within the limit with a ridge height of "9.395". In practice, you will be well below that since you still have the full story behind you.

Conclusion: relax. The avoidance of a full story here sets relatively tighter limits than the absolute height. For example, at 22 / 25 / 28° roof pitch, with a 2.00 m knee wall, you reach a room height of 2.30 m already after 74 / 64 / 56 cm from the eaves wall – that is significantly too early. So, I see the candidate for your calculation probe, for example, at 25° roof pitch and 1.80 m knee wall.

But you must not forget one thing. This B plan method of setting the reference heights to NN prevents you from exceeding the 9.50 ridge height by adding soil and thus raising the house. Whoever adds 1m of soil only has 8.5m left for the building height. Clear? Karsten

That sounds logical. However, I do not understand the first calculation from 11ant. In Schleswig Holstein, the state building code states that the upper floor is a full floor if it has at least 75% of the floor area of the floor below (and this counts from 2.3m height from floor to roof exterior). Therefore, 2 meters of knee wall is impossible, right? So the house from Danwood 169A specifies 2 m for the knee wall but that won't fit, or am I mistaken? So in this building area, I am not limited by the ridge height but by the single-story restriction.

Yes, if I am not mistaken, I also see the problem. What does Danwood say? What would be an alternative? Does it have to be Danwood? Look, if you want wood instead of solid, try contract vario Ahrensbök near Lübeck. They are smaller, much smaller than Danwood, but they make nice houses very individually and are also inexpensive. K.
