Have a terrace partition wall built or build it yourself

Is the wall with 4 m still within the building envelope? Is it at all possible to widen the terrace according to the floor area ratio?

Wood is not only easier to assemble but also to disassemble. :p

Depending on the floor area ratio, there is still enough buffer

Which stones would one use for such a wall now? So I can see which design we like

Are they called formwork stones or hollow blocks or something else? Which stones are optimal for such a wall

For us, the best would be stones that can be set up without concrete and simply filled with earth, sand, gravel... (of course, the foundation must be made beforehand)

Making stones that are hollow inside so that you just have to stack the stones on top of each other and fill them with soil or gravel

Hollow block stones or planter blocks. The more massive the wall (surface weight), the better its sound insulation will be. But these stones are usually used for slope reinforcement.

These stones are not stable if you just stack them freestanding on top of each other—at least not at the height you have in mind. I would never dare to go 2 meters high with simple filling of gravel. At 80 cm, okay. For the planned height, steel rods belong in the foundation and then through the stones, which are then filled with concrete. Do you really want your wall to flap around in wind strength 8? Or be cracked in a storm and come towards you or a small child with a light touch :oops: Just to save a few hundred euros on the concrete?!

Manufacturers of masonry bricks often provide structural calculations. For small walls, that's sufficient. What you want can only be built solidly. If you want to do it exactly right, you won't get around structural calculations. Otherwise, it's better to err on the side of using more material...

Hollow blocks, connected to the foundation by reinforcement. The amount of concrete is quite a bit of work but manageable. However, this does not result in exposed masonry – I understood that a plastered surface is desired. Then build the wall cheaply and unattractively, and make it look nice with plaster. Otherwise, you need masonry that actually looks good (or another form of surface design – clinker slips/facades, wood, etc.).

The stones should also be visually appealing on the outside and have a nice design

with acquaintances in the new development area (also a few years old) several neighbors have done it that way simply hollow blocks (probably those, not sure exactly) and filled with soil.

Currently all still stand like a rock, that's why we came up with this solution
