The attic-reduction figure and exact clause number need confirming against the current statute text. Rheinland-Pfalz’s building law is the **Landesbauordnung Rheinland-Pfalz (LBauO RLP)**, currently in force. **Minimum room height (lichte Raumhöhe): 2.40 m.** Neither the reduced figure for a roof-space room nor the exact clause (§) number for this rule were independently confirmed against current LBauO RLP statute text — the paragraph numbering appears to have shifted between editions, so 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 detail above, in the [LBauO RLP text on landesrecht.rlp.de](https://landesrecht.rlp.de/) before you build to a number. ## Related - [**German building rules hub**](https://www.chippy.tools/building-codes/de/) — how the national DIN layer and the 16 Länder’s own building law fit together. - [**Minimum room heights across Germany**](https://www.chippy.tools/building-codes/de/rooms/minimum-room-heights/) — why there’s no single national figure. - [**German stair & guard rules**](https://www.chippy.tools/building-codes/de/stairs/stair-and-guard-requirements/) — the DIN 18065 numbers plus the Land-by-Land guard-height picture. ## Adoption status Adopted Current code in force Landesbauordnung Rheinland-Pfalz (LBauO RLP) Next edition Not announced Adoption / transition LBauO RLP sets a 2.40 m minimum room height; attic-reduction figure and clause number need confirming.
