Statutes of the City of Bonn on special requirements for building design to Protection of the character of the streetscape in the city district of Bonn, districts of Dottendorf, Endenich, Kessenich
From February 2, 1983
At its meeting on July 8, 1982, the Bonn City Council, on the basis of Section 4 of the Municipal Code for the State of North Rhine-Westphalia in the version published on October 1, 1979 (GV. NW. p. 594/SGV. NW. 2023) and Section 103 para. 1 numbers 1, 2 and 6 of the Building Code for the State of North Rhine-Westphalia (Landesbauordnung - BauO NW -) in the version published on January 27, 1970 (GV. NW. p. 96/SGV. NW. 232), last amended by the law of March 27, 1979 (GV. NW. p. 122), the following bylaws have been adopted:
§ 1: Objective
The districts of the city district of Bonn within the scope of these bylaws are characterized in their appearance by individual buildings worthy of preservation, architectural structures worthy of preservation, streetscapes and squares with different histories. The aim of these bylaws is to achieve a harmonious integration into the existing townscape through special design requirements for future structural changes.
§ 2: Local scope of application
The area covered by the bylaws is located in the urban district of Bonn, districts of Dottendorf, Endenich and Kessenich. The exact boundaries are shown on the plans attached to these bylaws (Annexes 1 to 3). These plans are available for public inspection.
§ 3: Material scope of application
(1) The statutes apply to all buildings in accordance with § 2 Para. 2 BauO NW.
(2) The stipulations in development plans remain unaffected.
§ 4: Special requirements for the structural design
The scale and design of structural alterations and new buildings must be adapted to the surroundings and harmonized with the historic buildings in such a way that the impression of the streetscape as it has historically evolved is preserved. The following requirements in particular must be taken into account:
Façade design The design of façades visible from public traffic areas is only possible with exposed brickwork, plaster or half-timbering and natural stone. Other materials (e.g. exposed concrete) are permitted as an exception.
Roof shapes and ridge directions Roof shapes and ridge directions must be designed in such a way that the roofscape defining the respective street is preserved for the buildings and parts of buildings facing the public thoroughfare. Flat roofs are only permitted as an exception for parts of buildings at the rear.
Fire walls and fire gables Fire walls and fire gables must be adapted to the facades visible from the public traffic area.
Garage storeys Garage storeys are excluded; garages on the first floor with several adjacent driveways are also excluded.
§ 5: Building widths and spacing areas
Building distances and spacing areas may be less than those prescribed in Sections 7 and 8 (2) BauO NW or in the Ordinance on Building Distances and Spacing Areas (Spacing Areas Ordinance) of March 20, 1970 (GV. NW. p. 249/SGV. NW. 232). The extent of the undercutting depends on the respective existing local conditions.
§ 6: Assessment bases to be submitted
In order to enable a speedy assessment of the urban planning aspects, in particular the harmonious conformity of a building project with the streetscape, the building permit documents - with the exception of the structural engineering documentation - must be submitted in triplicate. When presenting the views, the facades of the directly neighboring buildings must be shown in detail; this can also be done using photographs.
§ 7: Exceptions and exemptions
Exceptions and exemptions are governed by Sections 86 (1) and (2) and 103 (4) of the BauO NW.
§ 8: Administrative offenses
Any person who intentionally or negligently violates the provisions of §§ 4 and 5 is in breach of the regulations in accordance with § 101 Para. 1 No. 1 BauO NW. The administrative offense can be punished with a fine of up to 25,564.59 euros in accordance with § 101 Para. 3 BauO NW.
