Kniestock prohibited according to the development plan

Hello everyone,

we are currently interested in a plot of land (approx. 600m²). According to the development plan, knee walls and dormer windows are listed under "prohibited structures."

Construction with a maximum of 2 full floors is allowed, all roof types are permitted - roof pitch 0-36 degrees.

Actually, we wanted to build a single-family house with a ground floor and upper floor (knee wall approx. 1.40 - 1.60 m) and a gable roof. Since this seems to be prohibited there, I wonder if it is still possible to achieve this somehow? From when is a wall height in Bavaria no longer considered a knee wall? A house with 2 full floors certainly has its advantages, but we do not like the bulky look.

We would be very grateful for some tips or assessments!

Best regards and a Happy New Year!

whether this can somehow be achieved anyway?

Yes. You build somewhat larger and achieve the effect of a knee wall inside through appropriate sidewalls.

From when is a wall height in Bavaria no longer considered a knee wall?

When the roof structure no longer rests on the floor slab, but on a wall of a structurally unnecessary height.

Yes. You build somewhat larger and achieve the effect of a knee wall inside through corresponding side walls.

That was also our consideration. So it would basically be a house from the outside with a full floor + attic, and inside on the upper floor you would then have to insert knee walls to achieve a certain knee wall height (and thus also space for beds, etc.), right?

If the roof structure no longer rests on the floor slab but on a wall of a height that is not structurally necessary.

What does that mean in plain German? I had hoped that if you build a floor from a certain height, it would no longer count as a knee wall but as a full floor.

right?

Correct!

What does that mean in standard German?

Maybe Wikipedia is in standard German? Although I believe that here Rohdecke should actually be called Rohfussboden:
Als Kniestock (oder auch Drempel beziehungsweise Trempel) bezeichnet man die an der Traufseite eines Hauses über die Rohdecke des Dachgeschosses hinaus gemauerte Außenwand, auf der die Dachkonstruktion aufliegt.

I had hoped that if you build a floor starting at a certain height, it would no longer count as a Kniestock, but as a full floor.

Sorry, I don’t understand what you mean now. As soon as you build up the exterior walls above the ceiling of the ground floor, on which the pitched roof structure then rests, you create a Kniestock. Only when your 1st upper floor is so high that it has a flat ceiling do you no longer have a Kniestock.
