Since we are actually planning more with a double carport, the question now is whether carports also fall under this...
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."
