Basic information:
What do District Licensed Chimney Sweeps do and how are they different from other chimney sweep companies?
Since the liberalization of the trade in chimney sweeps ten years ago, there have been “autonomous” jobs as well as so-called “sovereign” jobs.
As part of his freelance activity, the chimney sweep can, in accordance with certain legal requirements, carry out private sector tasks such as measuring, cleaning and checking fireplaces. The services are not subject to a tariff, but rather to prices in free competition.
This is to be distinguished from sovereign activities which may only be carried out by authorized chimney sweeps, i.e. district chimney sweeps authorized for a certain district. This includes inspecting the fireplace, issuing or changing the fireplace notice, maintaining the return log, and building inspections in accordance with state law. These tasks serve to prevent fires and thus help to avert danger. Uniform tariffs, established by law, apply nationwide for sovereign assets.
The task of chimney sweeps is to prevent fires in chimneys, apartments and houses, for example by looking at chimneys and sweeping, etc., it is also the reason why they bring good luck into the house and are therefore considered good luck charms in popular belief.
There are a total of 16 chimney sweep companies in the district of Emmendingen, 8 in the city of Freiburg, 26 in the district of Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald, 18 in the district of Lörrach and 43 in the district of Ortenau.
