Hello,
we are planning to build a two-story townhouse in Schleswig-Holstein. However, the zoning plan only allows for a single-story building (otherwise, the building height is limited to about 10m (33 feet)). The state building code states:

"A top floor set back from at least one exterior wall of the building or a floor with at least one sloped roof surface counts as a full floor if it has a height of at least 2.30 m (7.5 feet) over at least three quarters of the floor area of the floor below."

If we enlarge the ground floor so that the upper floor has less than 75% of the ground floor’s area, can we then build a townhouse that is considered single-story and has a standard ceiling height of 2.5 m (8.2 feet)?

Thank you very much!

That still doesn't exist. Only in layman's terms.

But they do exist. In reality, if not among professionals.

No. It is about full storeys. The 1 means one full storey. There are no half full storeys.
Whether you convert your attic is irrelevant.
