ᐅ Garden Sauna in Bavaria – Distance to Neighboring Property

Hello everyone,

My wife would like to have a small sauna on our property. The land is currently undeveloped, but construction is planned to start in the middle of the year. Now more and more questions and ideas are coming up, including the realization of the sauna 🙂 The sauna should be sized for a maximum of 3 people.

My question is, can/is it allowed to place a small sauna building at the edge of the property near the neighbor? Normally, a 3-meter (10 feet) distance is required between a house and the neighbor’s property line. However, for example, our garage is located directly on the property boundary with the neighbor. Also, is it allowed for the sauna to be built beyond the building limit line according to the local development plan / zoning plan?

I can also share a photo of the property layout if needed.

Good luck

I prefer using a sauna over spending time in an infrared cabin. However, the reasoning is sound, so there’s nothing to argue about.

Everyone has to build what they like (and what they are allowed to build). In the case of a sauna in the garden, I would simply check with the relevant authorities or, as a first point of contact—if you plan to have the sauna built—ask the supplier.

We needed a building permit / planning permission and a notice of encumbrance from the neighbors.

Well ... that would possibly mean that a garage with a workbench is not allowed to be built on the property boundary (?). How long would you then be allowed to stay in the garage at most? 🙂
What do you mean by "possibly"? In all federal states, it is prohibited to misuse a garage – no storage of furniture, no workbench, no occupation. 😎:p

Could you please provide a legal source for this?

That is not generally correct and depends on the garage regulations of the respective federal state. In some, the usage is clearly defined, while in others it is not.
