Display of fireplaces and stoves

If you wish to install a fireplace or stove in your house or flat, it must be reported using this form before use.

Description

In the Munich city area, new or replaced fireplaces or stoves for solid fuels such as wood, which are only used to heat the room in which they are installed, may only be used if they demonstrably comply with the limit values of the Munich Fuel Ordinance or the 1st BImSchV (Stage 2). The limit values are 1250 mg/m 3 for carbon monoxide and 40 mg/m 3 for dust.

Before commissioning, the systems must be notified by e-mail ( brennstoffverordnung.rku@muenchen.de) or by post to the Department of Climate and Environmental Protection (see contact field below for address) together with proof of compliance with the limit values (manufacturer's type test) using the "Notification of new system" form.

The continued operation of old systems (installed and commissioned before 2015) must be reported to the Climate and Environmental Protection Department by e-mail or post using the "Continued operation of old system" form together with the necessary evidence.
