Hello everyone,
We have owned a plot of land for one year. It is not very large (389 m² (4185 ft²)), but the zoning plan allows quite a lot of development.
We have decided against building a single-family house ourselves.
Friends encouraged us to consider whether we might build a multi-family house on the property as an investment. Especially now that the KFW provides higher repayment subsidies.
Several ideas have emerged.
1. Build a multi-family house maximizing the living area, with all apartments rented out.
2. Build a three-family house, with one apartment per floor. We would live in the ground-floor apartment and rent out the upper and attic floors to two of my siblings.
3. Build a duplex with one of my siblings, where each of us would have and live in an independent condominium unit.
Would you consider doing something like this, or is there anyone here who has already done something similar?
What is the best way to proceed? Should we request offers for all three options and then choose the best one?

Probably. What is supposed to go there that makes it so important? At the moment, nothing. I just want to secure my own boundary in advance, so that, as I have often read here in the forum, possible encroachments don’t happen. The properties have a seamless transition; apart from a marker on each side of the street, there is nothing there!
But I simply don’t know what the buyer of the house will build once the old building is demolished. The zoning allows WA II/o with a site coverage ratio of 0.35 and a floor area ratio of 0.70.
My neighbor told me yesterday that, according to hearsay, a construction company bought it. They will probably fully utilize the site coverage and floor area ratios.
Don’t worry, I won’t remove anything there unless it has to be done. But I want to have the information in advance so that, in case something happens, I at least know what I am allowed to do and what not.

You will need to check yourself if Bremen has any further restrictions. Thanks very much for the helpful excerpts. I will look into further possible restrictions!
Just to repeat: I will not touch anything there unless it has to be done. I just want to be informed in advance!

You mean because there is no fence, you are worried that someone might build on your property? Yes, I would be cautious too, but I think developers are professional enough that this rarely happens.
Don’t you have any official boundary markers? I’m not afraid, but I do have concerns. After finding out which construction company might be involved, I definitely want to take action beforehand to avoid problems later on. Whether it actually happens is secondary to me!
By the street, there is a marking—a larger pink dot—and on the other side, a survey cross was placed on the retaining wall. But otherwise, the boundary is not visible. There are no boundary stones.
