Hello everyone,
We have the following problem: our neighbor removed the boundary marker during construction work. It was there before, and we can prove this with photos. We had previously talked about the boundary because he is not respecting it. For the past month, we have been asking what happened to the boundary marker and when it will be replaced. The only response we get is "we are working on it." The construction workers told us that the boundary marker is not necessary and that the metal rod is the boundary, but this is not an official boundary.
We want to start building our house soon. I think we will have to involve a lawyer because otherwise, we won't make any progress. This neighbor constantly threatens us with legal action or refuses to greet us. He even told us not to make a fuss over a few centimeters. Other neighbors have also complained, and he had to remove his wall because it was too high.
We don’t want to be petty, but by now, we no longer want to be taken advantage of.

We were missing a boundary marker (because it was buried during earthworks decades ago).
Replacing it cost more than our wedding rings. The neighbor won’t cause any trouble, especially since setting a boundary marker is expensive even without an administrative offense.
