Garage = Garage
Carport = building without living spaces
A carport therefore also falls under the privilege of section 5 paragraph 8 sentence 2.

It was not quite correct above to say a distance of 1 m; what is meant is a minimum distance of 1 m.
So 2 m distance would be possible, but not 0.9 m.

It is more understandable as described in the brochure
Tips for Neighbors. What you should know about neighbor law in
Lower Saxony
:

"In principle, a garage may be set directly on the boundary or at a distance of at least 1 m from the boundary. Within the building area of 3 m to the boundary, the garage may not be higher than 3 m. This also applies to an open carport. Other smaller ancillary buildings may also generally be built directly on the boundary or with a boundary distance of at least 1 m. Within the building area of 3 m, these may also not be higher than 3 m. They may not contain living spaces or any stoves (wood, oil, or gas heating). Considered here are mainly tool sheds and greenhouses. If such an ancillary building is not to have more than 40 m³ gross volume (in the outer area: not more than 20 m³), neither a building permit nor a notification is required. If such an ancillary building and a garage are erected in the building area on one property, their total length on any boundary may not exceed 9 m.
Looking at the whole property, the boundary distance to all neighbors may only be undercut on a total length of 15 m."

What you all store... 5 sqm storage room at the carport, 3x3 m garden shed in the.... garden ... in M_V only 10 sqm are allowed without a permit.

Don't forget the attic, it has a floor area of about 8x10 m and a height of about 2 m. So far, we manage to fit everything... you just can't keep every knick-knack

Thank you very much! The 2 m distance is quite important to us because these 2 m are currently planned to become the “footpath” past the carport to the front door.

But I have now also correctly understood that our carport would then also count towards the 9 m / 15 m limitation? So, with a 6 m long carport, we would in our case only be allowed to build 3 m on this property boundary side, and in total only 9 m along the boundary, right?

Yes.
Yes - but only with garage, carport, shed, and the like.
(the 15 m form, among other things, the 9 x 6 m boundary garage as the maximum in the corner, i.e. on 2 boundaries - but also a distribution over several smaller structural facilities).

The house must comply with the (non-privileged) boundary distances (property 1/2 H) and building boundaries.

So, we have a total of 45m2 of cellar, a garage of about 16m2, and a shed about the same size again. The main house has 100m2 of living space without the attic, without a storage room. The shed is full in winter, the garage is only half full, the cellar is at most half full. That is totally enough for us for a lawn mower, garden tools, garden furniture, grill, building materials, 4 wheels, balance bikes, kids stuff (children's wheelbarrow and things like that), fire bowl, seasonal decorations, my jams, tools, the inflatable pool, shelves to overwinter plants, the washing machine and the dryer as well as a garden stove and garden fridge. Additionally, we have a carport for the trailer and attached to it is a kind of extension where we keep tubs, buckets, green waste and garbage cans. So overall it adds up quite a bit, although we definitely have little stuff compared to others, and we don’t even use half of the space. 3x3m is definitely not enough. Just the wheels and the lawn mower with grill already need that space. We are glad that we bought so much outbuilding space with the old house, even though we don’t need everything. Altogether it is certainly about 100m2 of storage space where we can theoretically put or store things. For example, our garage also has a very large roof overhang where we can store wood dry. That is also worth a lot, I think. I would rather plan for too much than too little here. You see houses with nice garages everywhere in new housing developments that are completely full with storage stuff and the cars are parked in front. Better to plan more storage space right away. Of course we have a real luxury, but that is typical for old buildings, there is simply often more available already. Our cellar was for example partly a pigsty back then, you just needed the space in the past. Also for storing feed and your own food, you urgently needed enough storage space. We are happy today that we definitely have no lack of space.

Edit: I forgot the winter/summer tires^^.

Exactly, filling up the solidly brick-built double garage costing 40,000 euros with stuff... but gladly saying that they didn't build a basement because it supposedly isn't worth it...

I know it’s not like that for everyone... but I've seen it often enough...
