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

If a building submission has to be prepared, for example in connection with permit-required measures, I do not include setback areas in my site plans as long as the building does not exceed the other boundary limits. So far, there have been no complaints.

It is, at least in the clarity one can expect from a law.
§2, paragraph 7, BbgBO
Garages are buildings or parts of buildings for parking motor vehicles. Showrooms, sales rooms, workshops, and storage spaces for motor vehicles are not parking spaces or garages. That is clear, as it is their actual purpose. However, this does not mean, conversely, that you are not allowed to store other things there or spend time in them.
Just take §2 paragraph 5 BbgBO as an example: "Habitual rooms are rooms intended or suitable for more than temporary occupancy by people." According to that, you would also not be allowed to place anything in a habitual room. And we agree that you can place furniture in a habitual room.

Then it is not a garage by definition and does not have the right to be built on the property boundary. It’s that simple. Unless you classify the room as a storage room.
I believe it goes too far to try to interpret laws, regulations, and provisions now! They are not for interpretation. They are a chain of logical sequences. I admit, sometimes very difficult to understand, and some things may seem illogical at first (until you experience the situation where it makes sense), but that is just how it is. Including in Brandenburg.

I think it’s going too far to try to interpret laws, terms, and regulations right now! Because they simply aren’t. Of course they are. That’s why there are commentaries on laws. And courts have to make decisions repeatedly. And apparently, similar cases are decided differently for laypeople.
But you’re right, it’s difficult to understand and goes beyond the scope here.

Commentators and judges even agree that garages, especially when they are built on or at the property boundary or serve as a required parking space, must not be misused. The only question is under what conditions the criteria for misuse are met. It is clearly the case when so many items are stored that no vehicle can fit anymore, or when woodworking is carried out in the garage every weekend. A workbench with a vise, a torque wrench, and an air compressor are just as unproblematic as a tire rack for winter tires, oil containers, and windshield washer fluid.

Just look, for example, at §2 para. 5 BbgBO However, that is a very poor example, since in Germany it is really unrealistic for people to stay for extended periods in rooms without furniture.
