ᐅ L-shaped concrete blocks placed directly next to the neighbor’s fence?

Hello!
We have a plot of land where the neighbors on both sides have already completed their houses, including fences and so on. Since our plot slopes downward and the house will be built slightly elevated, the terrace will be significantly higher than the existing ground level. From a design perspective, it would be best to raise the area overall and support it with L-shaped retaining walls.
Is it allowed to place these retaining walls directly next to the neighbor’s fence on our property, or what regulations apply here? We are located in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), and I understand that rules can vary from one federal state to another.
One of the neighbors might be difficult, so before discussing our plans with them, I would like to know what is permitted.
For example, would we have to pay for the neighbor’s fence to be altered or replaced, or can we simply build the retaining walls as described right up to the fence?
Thanks in advance!

The same applies to them, meaning general contractors! I'm done!

Henrik081712327 Jul 2017 23:14The main point is that he already has a fence, etc. Without it, we would raise the ground level, reinforce it, and then either he or we would plan the fence accordingly. Now, I believe that even with the reinforcements we have to maintain the setback distance from the property line—but that doesn’t make much sense, since we would simply lose usable space if, for example, it happens 50 cm (20 inches) in front of the fence. This would create a ditch behind the fence that belongs to us but isn’t really usable.

Otherwise, a sketch would help!
