Hello,
we are dealing with the following question (in Brandenburg) – see also the sketch in the attachment:
We own the middle, red-marked plot B. The plot was filled with soil in such a way that it ends at the same height as the neighbor at the rear. So it has a very slight slope from front to back. The slope does not matter due to the length of the plot, in such a way that rainwater could flow to the neighboring plot at the back.
Our neighbor A to our left has already had his outdoor area done. He has leveled his plot horizontally at the same height as the street curb. Since all the plots at the back have a lower ground height, neighbor A's plot height is therefore higher than that of his neighbor behind him. For this reason, neighbor A has set curbstones himself so that the rainwater does not flow directly to the rear neighbor.
Neighbor C on the right now also wants to start with his outdoor facilities, including raising the ground level of the plot. In principle, he had planned to also level the plot horizontally from the street curb to the back like plot A and then set curbstones to the rear neighbor because of the difference in height. (Plots A and C are being done by the same landscaper).
Now the following two questions arise:
1) Are we (plot B) under any obligation to always level the plot height horizontally to the street curb (like plot A) or do we have the freedom to keep the plot with our slope and plot height so that neighbors A and C would have to ensure that their rainwater does not flow onto our plot (e.g. by curbstones)?
2) According to building regulations, we would be responsible for putting up a fence between our plot B and plot C. Can we build the fence including the slope in such a way that it is effectively parallel on our sloping plot, but due to the difference in height stands slanted/not parallel to plot C's ground?
