Understanding the new LBO 2025 and applying it in a legally compliant manner Overview of the major LBO reform in 2025
With the "Law for Faster Construction," the state parliament of Baden-Württemberg has approved comprehensive changes to the State Building Code (LBO). Construction Minister Nicole Razavi speaks of a fundamental reorientation: "Not cosmetic repairs, but a genuine overhaul." The reform shifts the previous system of "control" more toward "enabling."
But what do these changes mean in concrete terms for architects and planners?
This evening seminar provides practical information on how you can make legally compliant use of the new scope offered by the LBO 2025. The focus is on the most important aspects of the reform and their impact on planning practice. For better understanding, key principles of building planning and building regulations are also reviewed.
