I often found fireplace=yes. See also fire pit: leisure=firepit in the
Wiki. Why use different words to say the same thing?
basically it is not the same thing. The German Feuerstelle translates to
fire pit, while fireplace
As a native English speaker, I's only use fireplace for an indoor feature
of a building: and a fire pit would be sunken into the ground, whereas a
BBQ grill is a structure above the ground, either a portable metal one or a
permanent brick one.

Could that also sometimes (often?) be used for BBQ?
What would you call this:

yes, the most obvious use case would be BBQ.
The thing in your example picture could be called fire ring, but the

I'd call that a barbecue, as it's above ground.

heating). Then it would also be
I see how calling those firepits contradicts the *literal* meaning of the
word, but just the same, there seems to be pretty widespread usage of the
word in that way, at least in the US. If someone in the UK could comment
