  • Service description

    Only at the turn of the year (on 31 December and 1 January) may fireworks of category F2 (old designation class II) be set off by private individuals over the age of 18.

    If private individuals, i.e. persons without a licence in accordance with § 7 or § 27 of the Explosives Act or a certificate of competence in accordance with § 20 of the Explosives Act, wish to set off category F2 fireworks themselves at another time, this may be permitted by the competent authority as an exception for a justified reason. Such private individuals require a licence for this. Some authorities consider a golden wedding anniversary, a milestone birthday or any other anniversary to be a justified occasion. However, there is no legal entitlement to the granting of this special authorisation.

    Note: Even with such an exemption licence, private individuals may not set off fireworks of category F3, F4, stage fireworks of category T2 or other pyrotechnic articles of category P2 (old classes III (medium-sized fireworks), IV (large fireworks) or T (pyrotechnic articles for technical purposes, stage fireworks).

     

  • Procedure

In this application, you should at least state the reason, the date and time of the event and the venue.
