Fireworks

The city of Rosenheim points out that the burning of pyrotechnic objects (e.g. fireworks) is generally only permitted in the period from 31.12. to 01.01. of the following year. The prerequisite for this is basically the completion of the 18th year of age and the proper handling. Violation of these regulations constitutes a breach of order and can be punished with a fine.

Fireworks on the occasion of a birthday, wedding or similar and the so-called "wedding shooting" during the year are generally not permitted.
