New building law promotes living space in the old town of Esslingen!
On July 3, 2025, an event of the old town district will take place in the citizens' hall of the old town hall, which deals with the new regulations of the state building regulations (LBO) in Baden-Württemberg. This amendment aims to reduce the bureaucracy when building in the existing building and at the same time create living space without endangering the urban development of the historic old town of Esslingen. [Esslinger Zeitung] (https://www.esslinger-zeitung.de/inhalt. event-altstadtvierte-hilft-neues-bau-bauen-in-dder-in-der- city.fa40fb13-7c1f-4d35-aebc617bb3.html) reported that the monument protection remains Regulations should introduce facilitates in building law.
Rena Farquhar, the speaker and FDP city councilor, who was instrumental in the revision of the LBO, will present examples for the practical application of the new regulations in Esslingen city center during the event. One of the most important innovations is the acceleration of approval processes. In the future, applicants will have the possibility that applications for which no feedback will take place within three months will be considered approved, provided that all the necessary documents have been submitted.
Building in the existence: New perspectives
An essential aspect of the new building regulations is the cheaper conversion of attic into living space. While fire protection guidelines remain for the memory, it is no longer necessary that the walls in the rest of the building can be fired. This topic could potentially be interested in many owners and investors and help to alleviate the shortage of housing in the region.
Stefan Bräuning, an experienced architect, will show vivid examples from the past 15 years of building in the existing inventory, which illustrate how such projects can be realized in Esslingen's old town. This could be of interest to both builders and the monument protection authority.
monument preservation in Esslingen
The monument protection authority of the city of Esslingen is responsible for the protection and maintenance of the cultural monuments. This authority monitors the condition of the monuments, ensures their preservation and can avert threats. The legal foundations for this are anchored in the Baden-Württemberg Monument Protection Act, and all changes on protected objects are subject to approval. [Esslingen.de] (https://www.esslingen.de/wahnen-und-bauen/denkmal protection) explains that cultural monuments not only come from the medieval city, but also include objects from the 19th and 20th centuries.
owners of established cultural monuments can also benefit from tax advantages and obtain information from the monument protection authority. The current projects include the documentation of graves, which is carried out by volunteers at the Ebershalden cemetery.
The event on July 3, which begins at 7 p.m. and is moderated by Pastor Christoph Schweizer, offers a valuable platform for citizens and interested parties to find out more about the developments in the field of building and monument protection in Esslingen.
