Sauna in storage room vs. garden

Hello,

a question whether it is possible without any building permit:

We want to get a sauna, either in the garden, or preferably on our external storage room which has an area of about 16 sqm and would be sufficient. It is brick-built, replaces a basement since we have a slab foundation.

How is it in Hesse, do you need a permit for either one? Can the neighbor cause trouble if we build the sauna on the storage room?

Why don't you just ask your responsible office? They are the best ones to tell you what is allowed and what is not.

without any building permit

That depends on your sauna. With a combustion stove you definitely need a building permit. With an electric stove only if you remodel more than 30m³ or if your caseworker does not share the prevailing opinion at approval authorities and courts that a sauna is not a living area.

in our external storage room

If the storage room is located close to the boundary (<3m distance), it is not possible because a sauna is not among the buildings privileged under distance law according to §6 (10) HBO.

HelpHelp, stop that. I also thought about it once and then said no. Such a thing is expensive, consumes electricity, you have to clean it, and being alone in there with a woman is boring in the long run. You get used to a naked woman. But a sauna pass from a wellness center, here our annual pass is currently 320, I have 15 passes until it pays off. You don’t have to clean anything, no extra electricity, you have sociability, can chat with other women, or talk with the buddies, you get away for a while... only advantages. Karsten

It reads as if you were the reason my girlfriend recently came back up from the hotel sauna after 5 minutes saying there was just some old guy sitting there and it was awkward.

No offense, I don't mean it badly^^
