Hello dear members,

I discovered your lovely forum thanks to Google. Unfortunately, as is often the case, a problem has brought me here.

We are building an extension onto an existing semi-detached house in Baden-Württemberg.
We are building on a slab foundation. The friendly neighbor built his half with a basement.
We live 70 kilometers (about 43 miles) away from the construction site.
Therefore, with both of us working and having two children, we cannot be at the site all the time.
Yesterday morning, the workers began setting the formwork for the slab foundation.
When I arrived at the site yesterday, my friendly neighbor was already there waiting for me.
He yelled at me quite loudly and was extremely angry.
He said that the slab foundation towards his side was insulated only with Styrodur (extruded polystyrene).
One of the workers tried to explain that in addition to the Styrodur, a 4 cm (1.6 inch) soundproofing wall would be installed along the house.
Still, he did not calm down.
He just kept yelling. He said he would take pictures and that he would refuse to pay.

We have no intention of demanding any money from him.
I was really shocked!!!

Actually, he should be worried, since he built 3 cm (1.2 inches) of his house’s total length over our property boundary.

What is the legal situation here?
I told my husband about it.
He wanted to see a lawyer right away.
For me, maintaining peace with the neighbor is more important.

Please excuse my spelling mistakes and my lack of knowledge. I have two children and need to keep them happy at the same time.

Thank you,
Sandra

Thank you. By now, I get really frustrated when I hear that term because something is being repeated here that was dictated by—let’s call them—“interested parties.” But since it fits their worldview so well, it’s taken uncritically.

Just to clarify: In the end, existing productivity is ALWAYS redistributed. There is no alternative. Pension points within a redistribution system or personal savings in the form of stocks, bonds, or real estate are just different methods of redistributing the same productivity. However, they have different effects on the size of the overall “pie” that can be divided.

Everyone pays for their own pension. No matter how high it is in the end, those who do not contribute to the fund will not receive anything from it later.

Hello kaho674

That is exactly where the mistake lies.
There is a flaw in the system.

Moreover, it’s not that difficult to counteract if you want to prevent the effect from occurring.
Hello hampshire

I see it that way (today) as well.
But I come from the time when Nobi explained to me that everything was safe.
And then my sense of safety was given away freely.

Hello chand

well, you really know your stuff.
everyone else is just repeating what they heard because it fits their worldview.

Reasoning: Because they CLAIM something without providing evidence.
I also made a claim, namely that it is not a pyramid scheme. But I also briefly explained why I say that. You could now point out exactly where I’m wrong and present an alternative explanation that proves it is a pyramid scheme.
If you did, you would be the first of several who like to claim that from time to time.

This was supposed to be about the neighbors, not off-topic about retirement.
