I have recently bought a place which comes with a garage with very old heating and chimney. The opening seems to be very small to put any kind of wood. I was wondering what kind of heating is this and how can I use it (if it works at all).
Thank you for your help.

Stove goes where that round hole used to be. Is brick now.
Depends. Do you want to keep that corner shape or not?
Not
Zeker dat dat uwen brievenbus niet is?
The fireplace itself has been bricked up. Unclear if the chimney is still clear.
You could have the chimney checked, and install a stove that can vent out of the old chimney.
But check the chimney before you try anything. Even if it isn’t blocked off, old coal dust caking the walls, debris and whatnot can start a fire in your chimney if you try to use it.
That’s the neat part.
Don’t worry about the stove. Worry first about the asbestos plates on the roof.
Sorry but for a second I thought that was the house from Blair Witch Project
put some fire inside
Don’t. That shit is gross.
What fireplace?
My first thought was that the upper part of the chimney, and it’s meant for the floor below… but I guess you don’t have a cellar und your garage. What surprises me the most is that you don’t see any evidence that a hole was blocked, so it was deliberately built like that. Why?
With fire ?
Demolish that ugly thing, and if you need a cimney, put a stainless steel one where you want it. Safer, cleaner, more elegant, and not too expensive.

You and I have a very different definition of a fireplace… and why would you even need one in a garage ?
You dont
Isnt it forbidden to put a fireplace in a renovation?
Its not a suitable and good way to heat your home.
I’ve seen enough movies to understand something evil is bricked up in there and it’s starting to escape.
We have similar chimneys in the house we are renovating. We removed all of them, they are a fire hazard if you would use them. If the chimney is wide enough, you could install those flexible inner chimney things and connect it. In our case the chimney was too small to install one of those flexible tubes for a fireplace.
The asbestos roof is fireproof, so anything goes! /s
That’s a chimney; not a fireplace.
Probably just all brick so it needs a new tube and the easiest way to use it would be just put a freestanding burner in front of it.
Also have the asbestos pipe removed that’s undoubtedly is on top of your chimney, remove your asbestos roof while you’re at as well.
