Build or buy a house? Children already 13/15 years old...

Why have a house then?

Because you also build for yourself. Kapitsche?

We have also built and do not want children, as these pests do not [to put it] bother us and we prefer to live without them. We have a cat, that's enough.

So I would not make it dependent on that, but on many other criteria ...

Everyone should have their opinion, but to me it sounds as if you are comparing animals to children or that they are being represented by them ..... disgusting

Of course a relationship between parents and child can be broken, but it does not always have to prevail.

A study was once conducted with seniors, and they were asked what they fear the most.
Answer: 90% said "loneliness"

Maybe one day cats will learn to talk ... possibly through a software update.

Exactly bungalow or at most a condo with a garden. House without children, why

Let me guess, you don't have a car, but a cabin scooter :)

Children as protection against loneliness in old age? I don't know if that's the right approach...

Protection is rather the wrong word.....but if one day you are alone and the partner is no longer there, then I find that very difficult, it can do you a lot of good if the children visit from time to time, people need company (especially if you are physically limited).

Children are a building block, nothing more and nothing less. A functioning social environment helps Neighbors, friends, clubs, etc. I don't want to have to wait until the children come by. Where do they live? With family in the house or nearby? Somewhere in Germany or even abroad?

Of course, the social environment is also very important..... but when push comes to shove, a club/neighbor helps you little, because blood is thicker ;-) !
