The invention relates to a burner, particularly Low-NOx-burner, for generating a flame by combustion of a fuel, comprising: a tile (15, 15a, 15b) surrounding an opening (2, 2a, 2b) of the tile (15, 15a, 15b) extending along a burner axis (12), the tile (15, 15a, 15b) further comprising a front side (20) and a rear side (21) facing away from the front side (20), wherein the rear side (21) comprises an air inlet (10, 10a, 10b) connected to said opening for feeding air (A, A', A") into said opening (2, 2a, 2b), and wherein said front side (20) comprises a discharge outlet (9, 9a, 9b) connected to said opening (2, 2a, 2b) for discharging a flame (30) generated by the burner (1) into a surrounding area (S), and wherein the tile (15, 15a, 15b) further comprises an inside (22) facing said opening (2, 2a, 2b) as well as an outside (23) facing away from said opening (2, 2a, 2b). According to the invention the burner (1) further comprises at least one oxygen lance (5) extending along the burner axis (12) in a first recess (17) of said tile (15, 15a, 15b), the at least one oxygen lance (5) having an ejection nozzle (6) at an end region of the at least one oxygen lance (5) for ejecting oxygen (O), particularly such that the oxygen (O) is at first ejected into a colder flue gas region (31) surrounding the relatively hotter flame (30) generated by the burner (1). Further, the invention relates to a method for generating a flame (30).
