If I’m not mistaken, some current infill development zoning plans were hastily created based on a kind of emergency high school diploma special regulation for their simplified adoption; resulting in errors from which future processes will "learn" more complexity. Infill development as such is a well-intentioned idea but often leads to odd-shaped plots and private lanes from which garbage bins have to be rolled out to the municipal road.Who knows what easements will come in 20 years as part of infill development
Yes, that is a popular method that is very often used in rural areas. Legally not entirely clear, definitely complex, expensive, and complicates modern floor plan design. However, I do not see the necessity here at all. Everything here looks like unplanned inner area (§34 Building Code). A (re)development of the cleared plot is definitely possible. And possible boundary development to the west should also be undisputed. The questions are whether an extension must be attached there, whether that also applies to the east, how high the surrounding development is, what percentage of the respective plot area is built upon, how the uses look, whether factual building boundaries or even building lines can be identified.but with us, a new house can practically be built within the old walls.
The plot is not narrow. It offers many possibilities. Only that an inexperienced planner does not recognize this. I am also not a design talent, so just a suggestion to overcome possible mental blocks:the plot is very narrow

Standard terraced house floor plan possible, size and creative changes depend on the budget and of course on the answers to the above questions
Oh!since the neighbor to the west has windows on the border everywhere.
It depends on how old the building stock is. So, the Civil Code has existed since 1896. Here in the Rhineland, the Code Civil dating back to Napoleon applied before, in other regions the Prussian Land Law. What they all have in common is that windows in the boundary wall were initially not permitted. However, a neighbor could allow the other, whereby the form of permission was not prescribed. So there was no public protection, only civil law agreements, with the today known problems of proof. I don't know how it was in Baden-Württemberg. I would go to the building authority and look into the neighbor file. In case of doubt, the neighbor must prove that his building is legally located there. But even if he does not succeed, the possibilities to enforce the closure of the windows strongly depend on the individual case. Doesn't your friend know someone who is better familiar with approval planning on site? I am not sure whether a building preliminary inquiry with this floor plan answers the questions raised. In any case, it cannot be limited to purely planning law elements and thus many things become binding, about which you may not yet be sure.However, I do not know how it is with old buildings.
