F1 is year-round fireworks and in the class there is no more. These include cnatter balls, small volcanoes, Knallteufel.. the stuff is from 12

F2 is the classic New Year’s Fireworks. Böller in this class are only filled with black powder and clay. Sold only in the 3 days before New Year’s Eve and from 18.

F3 is so-called medium/garden fireworks. The set quantities (NEM) are larger. Bsp have F3 rockets up to 200gr charge, while f2 rockets only have 20gr. Boars in class F3 are filled with flashy bangs. The stuff reacts harder than black powder. They are also called polenböller. In Germany you get F3 legally only if you have a permission under §27 explosives law. You get this permission with 21 and the use of f3 must be logged in beforehand.

F4 is a professional fireworks. Mostly, the ball bombs and huge batteries are. You only get that if you’re a trained pyrotechnic.

It may also be mentioned separately that it is still class “F2+“.

Everything in this class falls under “normal New Year’s Fireworks” in Austria, and in Austria – just like F2 Feuerwerk – can also be bought without restriction all year round.

In Germany, however, this class is – just like F3 – *subject to authorisation*!

Otherwise everything is correct

The problem is often that you cannot buy f2+ with the F3 appearance

You’re right. In my appearance, only F3 is in it, and I find f2+ not really worth it. But short info drop: my brother paid for the extension of the ticket 250/280€. Last year I paid only by 60€. We are with the same authority

Of course, you can only buy what is included in your appearance.

Experience has shown that most of the state council offices are carrying you on explicit demand but in your F3 bill requesting also F2+. But then you have to ask explicitly.

This is due to age reduction, F1 from 12 years, F2 from 16 and F3 from 18. But there are still quite different and even F4, the F4 can only be ignited by experts and pyrotechnics.

Your statement is completely wrong with F1. F2 from 18, F3 from 21

Your statement is valid for Austria, but not for Germany

This is the case either in Germany or in Austria.

For the use and possession of F3 fireworks, a separate permit is provided in both countries, or in some cases a specialist training *compulsory*.
