Building Code Requirements in Bremen
Bremen's BremLBO sets a 2.40 m minimum room height (2.30 m in a roof space), confirmed in §47. Here's the figure and what still needs confirming.
Bremen’s building law is the Bremische Landesbauordnung (BremLBO), currently in force.
Minimum room height (lichte Raumhöhe): 2.40 m, set in §47 BremLBO. In a roof space, the figure reduces to 2.30 m over at least half the room’s floor area.
Your LBO also sets boundary setbacks (Abstandsflächen), guard/parapet (Umwehrung) heights, and permit-free (verfahrensfrei) thresholds for garages and carports — none of these were independently confirmed for Bremen, so confirm them directly in the BremLBO text on transparenz.bremen.de before you build to a number.
