Building Code Requirements in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's LBauO M-V sets a 2.40 m general room height, reduced to 2.30 m for an ordinary 1–2 unit house. The exact clause number needs confirming.
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern’s building law is the Landesbauordnung Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (LBauO M-V), currently in force.
Minimum room height (lichte Raumhöhe): 2.40 m generally, reduced to 2.30 m for an ordinary one- or two-family house (Wohngebäude Gebäudeklasse 1 & 2). In a roof space, the figure reduces further to 2.20 m. The exact clause (§) number for these figures isn’t independently confirmed against current LBauO M-V statute text — check the official text directly rather than citing a specific paragraph from this page.
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 LBauO M-V text on landesrecht-mv.de before you build to a number.
