Detailed description
Private individuals over the age of 18 may only burn pyrotechnic articles at the turn of the year (31 December/1 January). This applies to fireworks of class II or, according to the new name, pyrotechnic articles of category F2 ("New Year's Eve fireworks").
You need an exemption if you as a private individual (i.e. without being in possession of a permit in accordance with §§ 7, 27 of the Explosives Act or a certificate of competence in accordance with § 20 of the Explosives Act) would like to set off fireworks (class II/category F2) yourself for a different period of time (i.e. between 2 January and 30 December).
The exemption can be granted for a justified reason (e.g. golden wedding anniversary); however, there is no legal entitlement to it. The exemption may be subject to conditions.
