Construction cost development still normal???

That your architect charges the highest rate is outrageous. The usual for single-family houses are III and the middle rate.

He charges hourly billing €120 gross.

Make a cut and go with the plans to a general contractor (4-5 GCs), get advice on where cost savings can be made, and build with the preferred one.

That's exactly what I'm doing. I have at least something promising about Gussek Haus.

Another question that arises: There will be changes to the construction. Should I stop the building application and resubmit it later, or let it run and submit amendments later? What is cheaper?

I don't know how it is with a proper building permit, but we would have had to pay the fee for the isolation drawing upon return. I would stop it. What do the others say?

I would call the building authority immediately. You are probably building according to a simplified procedure. I also paid that in Hesse after completion (sending of the building permit).

Before you reschedule, I would first ask a few GCs for quotes. I think 600k for the small house is a bit exaggerated. Apparently, you don't even need special waterproofing in the basement. Then just a prefabricated garage and that's it. It can't be that we're cheaper here in Baden-Württemberg.

What does small mean. Due to the way the house is designed, the OP has at least 180sqm of living space. Just because walls are stupidly positioned and according to WoRi now 173sqm are calculated doesn't mean that he doesn't have to pay the concealed square meters. Take a look at the structure on the upper floor around the chimney. It extends through 3 floors. The waste caused by the staircase (landing) is also not included. The cubic volume amounts to 1171cbm, that's no small matter.

Here in the region, construction companies are reportedly currently being informed by letter that almost all building materials will soon become 10-15% more expensive. Reason: Expansion of the truck toll and thus significantly higher transport costs.

I am curious ...
