We are looking for a fireplace builder to install or build a fireplace for us.
The problem is that most sellers want to offer us a fireplace with at least 8 kW.
I have done some research, and a fireplace in a KfW house should have a maximum output of 4 kW.
It will only be used on weekends for a cozy atmosphere, maybe with a glass of wine.
Our main heating system will be a ground source heat pump.
Does anyone have recommendations for manufacturers or know any companies in the Rhine-Main area?

PS: Currently, the offers range from €5,500 to €20,000.
We want to spend a maximum of €7,000 for either a masonry fireplace or a kit.

So far, I haven’t found any fireplace inserts with 4 kW that can be built into a wall or installed with prefab installation sets...
Then you haven’t searched *properly* yet – Google will provide several results immediately for the right query. Among them, a nationwide chain of fireplace studios.

Hmm, we are not talking about a main heating system... but about adding some coziness for 3-4 hours on weekend evenings.... So far, I haven’t found any heating inserts with 4kW that can be built in or installed with prefabricated kits.....

That’s exactly the kind of coziness I’m talking about too... (despite / because of the 11kW)

You might want to visit your local stove maker; perhaps they can build something suitable for you.
Regarding the excess energy... once the stove is built, it will likely be constructed in a way that it stores heat and releases it slowly over time. At least, that is usually the case.
Maybe you could also add a small tiled stove to it.
