The first line must not be interrupted - What does this mean?

Hello everyone,

in the development plan I find the following text on the subject of roof shape:

The ridge line must not be interrupted as a special design feature. The eaves line may be interrupted up to 1/4 of the building length.

What does that mean exactly? For example, can I build an angled structure?

I would be very happy about your answer!

Best regards Pumuk

The ridge line must not be interrupted as a special design feature. The eaves line may be interrupted up to 1/4 of the building length.

The ridge line must be continuous. A return (dormer) would therefore have to start its ridge lower in order not to interrupt the main ridge.

That the eaves line may be interrupted basically indicates the possibility of a return (dormer). Its total width may be a maximum of one quarter of the building length, so this usually only applies to one roof side each. Dormers, on the other hand, I do not see limited by the regulation (except for shed dormers, if they would reach the ridge).

What does that mean quite concretely? For example, can I put up an L-shaped building?

That depends on how strictly the singular "ridge line" is interpreted, i.e. whether it may kink. An L-shaped floor plan could have two uninterrupted ridge lines. In case of doubt, you should ask how it is to be interpreted.

I have roughly drawn my interpretation for you: blue = definitely possible / gray = questionable / red = not desired:
