Special use of public streets - Apply for a cellar light shaft and beer delivery chute

Straßensondernutzung - Kellerlicht- und Biereinwurfschacht beantragen
Machine translation of the German page, 2026-09-15. The German original is binding.
The construction and use of chute shafts (Einwurfschächte), basement window wells (Kellerschächte), plinths, foundations of buildings and enclosures, pillar reinforcements and similar structures, as well as installations providing a gain of space for the adjoining property owner on public street land, constitute a Straßenlandsondernutzung (special use of street land) - unless they fall under ordinary adjoining-property use (Anliegergebrauch). The building owner/property owner is required to apply for a Sondernutzungserlaubnis (special use permit).

Requirements

• There is no Anliegergebrauch (abutter's right of use). Whether Anliegergebrauch applies depends, among other things, on the type of use, the depth of protrusion into the public street area, and the width of the pavement. The permissible dimensions must therefore be requested from the Straßenbaubehörde (road construction authority) on a case-by-case basis.

Documents you need

• Application for special use permit for a cellar light well and beer delivery chute (Kellerlicht- und Biereinwurfschacht) You can submit the application either online or in writing by post. • This requires an informal application from the building owner (Bauherr/Eigentümer) with a site plan, the dimensions of the use, and the intended start date of use. The application must be submitted in good time before the planned start of use.
