Hello,
My husband and I have lived in our prefabricated house in a small village in Hessen since 2016. We now have a son who is almost two years old and wants to play in the garden. For this reason, we hired a company to install a welded mesh fence. The company started the installation yesterday and has already put up the fence along two neighboring properties.
Today, the fence on the side of the third neighbor was supposed to be installed. However, this neighbor stopped everything and said that we are not allowed to build the fence that way. We did not place any curbstones along this neighbor’s property line. The fence posts were supposed to be set in concrete on our property next to the boundary.
The neighbor wants a say in the decision and insists that we must put curbstones directly on the property line and then install the fence on top. He also wants to have a say in which fence is installed. Additionally, the property boundary was measured three years ago, but no boundary markers were set. He claims that these markers must be installed before we build a fence.
If we build the fence on our own property, not on the boundary, isn’t it solely our decision which fence to put there? Is the neighbor allowed to interfere and make demands?
He already wanted to address this two years ago, but nothing happened. This neighbor is also quick to complain and insists he knows everything better.
I am looking forward to your answers.
Best regards,
Faleha

17 HNRG, cost sharing.
That might quickly dampen the desire for participation....But the cost sharing only applies if the fence is built directly on the boundary, right?
We want to build the fence a few centimeters (a few inches) inside our property, just next to the boundary.
