Height of the fence to the neighbor and windows in the boundary construction

Wow, the issue with the cameras is really a hot topic. When I think about how long it took in our company to set up the cameras. It was really a narrow line with the neighboring properties and a sensible surveillance of the company premises.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed that you find a viable solution.

I’m almost considering turning my property into a grill and camping site and staying in the rental apartment.

The fence will be at our expense, that's not up for discussion. It's purely about the height; despite everything, we will inquire whether we should exceed the allowed 2m or not. If yes, I'll have both (the fury has a spouse who is not seen or heard) sign the plan.

Oh yes, what I forgot: for about a month now, they have set up wildlife cameras in their garden that also monitor our property. Such a camera has an angle of view of about 170° and they are positioned so that our property is also observed (quite extensively). So far we have left it uncommented (what else does she want to see except a cat pooping?). We wanted to ask over the fence what they are observing and what they have seen so far with it (and waited to see the reaction). So much for video surveillance... Now I'm considering whether I should forbid it. According to data protection law, that is definitely illegal.

If it really comes to the point that we issue a ban on the property, then the idea of installing a surveillance camera would certainly be relevant. Because how else would I prove that she ignored my ban?

But somehow I still hope that it doesn't escalate that much.

please what? Public order office, TODAY.

Your plan not to let anything escalate here is admirable, but to summarize:

- There has been trouble with the family for years
- constant harassment
- nighttime noise disturbance
- illegal video surveillance of the property/private space

your plan will not work and will only cause more frustration. My advice is clearly to establish facts and set clear boundaries.

Regulatory office because of wildlife cameras (are they really responsible for that?) and fire department because of the garage window not complying with fire protection should be considered. But I would only do that once we, maybe it will work after all, have agreed on the height of the privacy fence. I am still hoping for a concession because a higher privacy fence should also be in their interest.

Is the window itself even allowed in a borderline garage wall?
In my opinion, usually not.

Because of the neighbor: I think you have to take a different approach.
That means simply being MUCH louder than her.
I once had a neighbor like that, but in an apartment building.
He kept yapping for years, constantly complaining, ringing the doorbell, putting up notes, throwing trash into the stroller, etc.
At some point, he apparently even stood so stupidly and deliberately in the way of my (at the time quite small) children in the stairwell that the little one tripped.
I caught him briefly (not physically), looked him deep in the eyes, and told him VERY, VERY clearly and emphatically where the hammer hangs.
After that, not a single peep came in our direction ever again. He then focused on other neighbors.

Set clear boundaries in a friendly but firm manner and ignore the rest - as best as you can. Banning them from the house was a good suggestion after all. The neighbors’ cameras are absolutely not acceptable.

Having your own cameras is nonsense; with that, you are mentally and practically escalating the situation. You don’t have to prove anything. If the house ban is ignored, you call the police and that’s it. It will already have enough effect on your neighbors who care about order if the police show up just because of them.
