Thanks again for your many replies. :) We know nothing about this industry and are very dependent on the expertise of others and are easily influenced.

Just imagine you’re not building!!! Then you might pay €3,000 rent until the end of your life (exaggeratedly estimated over 40 years). And until then you might have spent your current net salary on consumption.
Honestly, I absolutely can’t understand your worries. Screw the 40 years. Sell the house at 55, enjoy good liquidity then and LIVE.
P.S. My financing ends mathematically at, I believe, 87. And by the way, I am a banker ;)
The argument from SaniererNRW123 actually corresponds to what we have been thinking about in the last few hours. That if you DON’T BUILD AT ALL, you alternatively pay high rent until the end of your life, and with a 40-year term you are AT LEAST finished after 40 years, makes us rather pro house construction.
The possibilities for special repayments and increasing the repayment rate are also optimistic.
Additional questions that have come up:
We have not yet built up more assets because after university we first did our legal traineeship, then had our son, and ultimately have only had two incomes for one year.
We have an independent financial advisor who can compare hundreds of banks in his tool. So we don’t have to go to another bank in the classic way.
We do not want to increase the repayment rate now because we want to stick to our desired rate. After all, we still want to be able to live.
Incidental construction costs, such as construction electricity, construction water, earthworks, and foundation slab, are included in the building company’s offer. They also work with a fixed price guarantee until completion.
