Hello everyone,
due to a current planning issue, I came across this forum and would appreciate your help with the following question related to our ongoing building project:
We have the opportunity to purchase a plot in an old development area. The zoning plan dates back to around 1970, and the old state building regulations of Baden-Württemberg from 1964 apply. The current state building regulations can be found online, but unfortunately, the old ones cannot. We are interested in whether anyone knows how the 1964 regulations define when a story counts as a full floor. The old zoning plan requires at least two full floors, which we might not meet due to an extension of a conservatory at ground level.
Thank you in advance for your efforts and best regards,
Sascha

A look at the building code of Baden-Württemberg would have been enough...
§ 2 Terms:
2. top floors, where a height of 2.3 m (7.5 ft) is present over less than three-quarters of the floor area of the floor below. Hello Bauexperte,
then I must have misunderstood you; I was looking for a source regarding the nationwide accepted solution.
I am familiar with the building code you quoted, but the 1964 building code seems to have a different regulation here. Also, 75% floor area and 75% at ≥ 2.3 m (7.5 ft) are somewhat different. With 75% floor area, almost every house would have two full floors.
Best regards

I found the following text on Wikipedia: Full stories are floors where the top edge of the ceiling extends on average more than 1.60 m (5 feet 3 inches) above ground level and have a height of at least 2.30 m (7 feet 7 inches).
If I build the basement so that the top edge of the ceiling extends only 1.40 m (4 feet 7 inches) above ground level but the basement height is 2.50 m (8 feet 2 inches), is it then considered a full story, yes or no? What I mean is whether only one of the two criteria must be met or both for it to be classified as a full story?
