Hi everyone,
I just got home and I am shocked...
The neighbors had to retain about 60cm (24 inches) in height and now they have installed curbstones right on the property line.
Strangely, the entire concrete retaining wall is actually on our property!
Oh, and our green manure cover crop has been completely trampled, and our small garden bed has been concreted over.
What can I do?

Yes, that is our final height. Our garden will then be fairly level, and then it drops by 1 meter (3 feet) down to our house/terrace.Drops? How should I picture that? How does the water runoff behave when it rains heavily?
That’s right, that would be about 10 sqm (108 sq ft), so around 5,000–6,000€!
Here are my basic Paint skills to show the rough cross-section! (at least how it is planned, the terrace and my wall are not finished yet)
Not much happens during heavy rain; I’ve milled everything and planted cover crops to make the clay soil permeable.

What rights do I have as the affected party?Building Code § 862 Claim due to interference with possession (1) If the possessor is disturbed in their possession by unlawful self-help, they may demand the removal of the disturbance from the person causing it. If further disturbances are to be expected, the possessor may sue for injunction.

Am I allowed to remove the concrete from my property?§ 859 Self-help by the possessor (1) The possessor may defend themselves against unlawful self-help by force...
(3) If the possessor of a property is dispossessed by unlawful self-help, they may immediately reclaim possession by removing the trespasser.
Or, as Andrea Nahles would say: Then there’s going to be a fight!

But as I said before, will they really take down a whole day’s worth of work again?They probably will have to if you insist—and you definitely should.M4rvin schrieb:

But anyway, I'm curious to see how things develop.
True, but then it would be sold unofficially!
How does it usually work when bushes or trees lift and damage the concrete foundation? Just asking in general. You can plant up to 2 m (6.5 ft) tall at a distance of 0.5 m (20 inches), and over 2 m (6.5 ft) tall at 2 m (6.5 ft) distance, but I never see anything about the root systems...
