I honestly don't know, but I would spontaneously say that nothing is stated about that in the contract. For the floor-to-ceiling windows, nothing either and also not for the underground garage ramp next to the entrance. And yet there are fall protections everywhere... probably not out of generosity of the builder. I'm not saying you're wrong, because I don't know myself either, but your reasoning somehow doesn't seem conclusive to me.

And do you have a backup now?
We will also have a few points that will be open to discussion.

What do you mean by that? At the moment, there is no fuse on the L-bricks, or only the hedge plants that we planted. But as mentioned, they are still too thin/weak in many places.

Means the state building code specifies where guardrails must be installed. If the spot at your place is not intended for regular use, there is no obligation. But there are always gray areas. Insurance issues have already been addressed by Zaba12. Even if not mandatory, common sense should be applied.

Yes, I think you can see it. It was important to me that it doesn’t look like a balcony railing and nobody is keen on cleaning glass over such a width.

As mentioned, apart from the legally and insurance-wise necessary, I am considering installing a security measure.... it's mainly a question of whether I should do something temporary for the next few years until the hedges are thick and tall enough or immediately install a permanent, stable fence (for example, a double rod panel fence... could be screwed directly onto the L-bricks). Although I also wonder whether the hedges will ever meet the requirements. These are laurel bushes.
