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

Why do you feel targeted if you have nothing against children?!Because you’re trying to present your digital black-and-white way of thinking as liberal. Your style of emotional argumentation feels universal to you, and you expect it to be so for everyone.tumaa schrieb:
my messageI’ve read a lot from you here, but no message. Maybe it got lost somewhere. Even though, as part of your "child-friendly" subgroup, I obviously wasn’t the intended recipient of your "message": what was it again?

You realize that yourself, right? No...

Oh please, not another foreigners debate in Sandrasix's thread! Hehe, I didn’t mention “foreigners” myself; I have a migration background too.
Some people like studies .....
Prof. Ulrich Reinhardt, Scientific Director of the Foundation for Future Studies: “In our study, we found through interviews that the perceived child-friendliness in Germany has dropped dramatically over the last two years. These are neighbors who don’t tolerate children’s noise, people on commuter trains who roll their eyes when a baby cries, and adults who insist on child-free restaurants.”

die auf kinderfreie Restaurants bestehen.“Hello tumaaThis would then be "free market economy" combined with "freedom of contract." It has nothing to do with hate, but rather with convenience.
If nobody is interested in such a restaurant, no one will go in. Therefore, the business will fail.
However, this is not possible in Germany because there is no "freedom of contract" (in many, but not all, respects).
