Child construction allowance for building a new house, but..

can you please hold back with your ignorance? Thanks!

This is not ignorance. The subsidy applies only - and exclusively - to the first purchase of a property. You hopefully did not plan the Baukindergeld as a fixed amount?

This is no longer stated like that in the conditions of the KfW.

However, I do not know whether this is deliberately or accidentally reinforced by the wording with the single property as of the reference date.

Our former neighbors did it like this: sold the house, lived in it for another half year, then moved into a temporary solution. Your considerations come quite late.

That is no longer stated in the conditions of KfW.

However, I do not know whether this is intentionally or accidentally forced by the wording regarding the only property as of the key date.

I was just on the website of the Verbraucherzentrale because I want to apply for the BKG myself and informed the architect that the building application must still be approved this year.

Here is the quote:

You only receive Baukindergeld for the first property. If you already own one, you cannot apply for it. This also applies, for example, if you have inherited or been gifted a property and are listed together with others in the land register with only a share of it.

The wording was apparently changed some time ago, but the key date remains the approval of the building application; no property may be owned at this time.

The Verbraucherzentrale probably has not changed their information text since the KfW adjusted the wording. Moreover, the text is misleading: That I do not own a property does not mean that the newly built/acquired property is my first one, as the example from shows.
