Freistehender Ofen

Freestanding stoves are typically wood burning stoves, multi-fuel stoves, gas or electric stoves, which are placed on some type of pedestal, a set of legs or a block base, without being attached to the wall.

Differentiating freestanding stoves and open fireplaces

The recess of a freestanding stove is not inside the wall like in the case of an open fireplace and the stove has a chimney flue pipe attached to it. 

Flexibility and versatility

Unlike an open fire, the freestanding model of a stove is highly desirable due to its ability to be placed anywhere in your home. Freestanding stoves can be positioned in any spot in your living room or kitchen and they are perfect for large, open plan living spaces. This versatility is unique to this type of stove and allows for higher levels of creativity in home design.
