Building Code Requirements in Brandenburg
Brandenburg's BbgBO sets a 2.40 m minimum room height. The exact clause number and attic-reduction detail need confirming against the current statute text.
Brandenburg’s building law is the Brandenburgische Bauordnung (BbgBO), currently in force.
Minimum room height (lichte Raumhöhe): 2.40 m. The exact clause number for this figure isn’t independently confirmed against current BbgBO statute text — treat it as unconfirmed and check the official text directly rather than citing a specific paragraph from this page. There’s a reduced figure for roof-space rooms and possibly an exemption for small (Gebäudeklasse 1 & 2) residential buildings, but the detail wasn’t independently confirmed either, so no number is given for it here.
Your LBO also sets boundary setbacks (Abstandsflächen), guard/parapet (Umwehrung) heights, and permit-free (verfahrensfrei) thresholds for garages and carports — confirm all of these, along with the room-height clause number above, in the BbgBO text on bravors.brandenburg.de — the Brandenburg government’s legal-text portal — before you build to a number.
