I attended a training course located in the middle of an industrial area between Salzgitter and Hildesheim. There was a large sign at the entrance advertising commercial plots for 20.95 euros per square meter (about 1.95 square feet). And what did I find right in the middle of it?
A really nice single-family house with a double garage, a well-maintained garden, and a large plot of land. But how is that possible? There was no sign of commercial use.
After doing some research, I found out that many municipalities sell commercial land at very low prices, significantly cheaper than regular residential building plots. And there is especially plenty of commercial land available. A house can also be used as a home office, and a business license costs 25 euros. Basically, almost every photovoltaic system operator is considered a business owner.
In my hometown, there are also beautiful commercial plots available very cheaply, with excellent and unobstructed views. Such great residential plots are hard to come by.
This way, you can potentially acquire a very affordable plot, possibly larger in size, and have some advantages. A house with an office can also be classified as a commercial property. Of course, it always depends on the situation. You wouldn’t want to build right next to a logistics company that operates 24/7, though.

If the local authority is not completely inactive, you will receive mail from them once the business has ceased. Objection! – a commercial enterprise in terms of a commercial area does not require registering an independent branch there. Until a German municipality employs a sworn translator to review a Chinese commercial register ...

Our municipality chooses which businesses to attract, primarily to estimate the potential commercial tax revenue from the business when they sell land at a high price. Due to the Cayman Islands not participating in fiscal equalization between regions, they often only receive x,y percent of: nothing. Even the total payroll benefits them only indirectly through purchasing power, since income tax goes to the employees’ place of residence, not to the municipality where they work...
Just to clarify: I’m only joining this troll thread because (and as long as) it’s April

Peter Pohlmann4 Apr 2022 15:55I am quoting from the newspaper article.
For this reason, it is often possible to set up a so-called manager’s apartment on company premises – but only as an exception, since residential buildings are generally not allowed in purely commercial zones due to noise protection regulations. There are houses with manager’s apartments in the Bliedersdorf commercial area “Postmoor South” as well. But where are the associated company buildings?
“It is a nuisance,” explains an insider who has been dealing with this “phenomenon” for some time: On plots that, according to zoning plans, are exclusively approved for commercial use, one attractive house after another is being built. Yet there is no building anywhere nearby that looks like a commercial operation. “The advantage is obvious,” the expert says: Often, the land for companies subsidized by local authorities is significantly cheaper than a building plot in a residential area. This is also the case in Bliedersdorf: An inquiry with the head of the Horneburg building authority, Roger Courtault, revealed that the price per square meter in the commercial area is about 40 euros (approximately $43). Just a few hundred meters away in the new development area, it is about 120 euros (approximately $129) per square meter, according to Courtault.
That’s exactly how it looks in reality. In the commercial area, one attractive house after another is being built at about a third of the land price.
Apparently, this is becoming known after all.
I did not make this up.
18 years ago, a post appeared on a stock market forum entitled “Houses in the East for 1000 euros.”
Oh, how much nonsense people wrote about it. Impossible, can’t be true, crazy, just like here. But I reacted immediately.
The following day, I viewed the property illegally; it was a Thursday. On Monday, I was at the notary and completed the purchase.
And yes, back then, there really were houses for 1000 euros (about $107). And before stupid comments follow right away: It was a large plot with a detached single-family house in an idyllic location. And no, not a prime urban location.

I did not just make this up. One attractive house after another is being built? And what is the situation today, SIX YEARS AFTER THE ARTICLE?
So where is the stylish new housing estate in the commercial zone now? Probably well hidden from satellites and disguised as a meat wholesale business or window manufacturing.
Just stop talking nonsense.
