## Definition

Fee that must be paid for cleaning chimneys (flues, fireplaces, chimneys, chimney stacks) and inspecting combustion systems in all buildings. - In Germany, the compulsory sweeping of all types of chimneys (compulsory furnace and chimney cleaning) has been in place since the 17th century for reasons of fire prevention; the legal basis today is the Schornsteinfegergesetz (SchfG - Chimney Sweep Act) of 1969, which has since been amended several times.
