No, a mobile construction fence is generally not considered a structural facility (bauliche Anlage) under German building law.

Reasons:

  • It is temporary and not permanent
  • Not firmly connected to the ground
  • Can be moved and dismantled at any time

This means: No building permit required for the fence itself.

However: A placement permit (Sondernutzungserlaubnis) is needed when placing fences on public property. On private property, no permit is usually required.

A construction fence costs approximately 1.50 to 3.50 EUR per element per day to rent.

  • Monthly rental for standard element (3.5m x 2m): 30-60 EUR

  • Concrete feet and accessories charged extra
