House number pictures thread - What numbers do you have?

I believe there are no regulations here. Before the last ambulance, I almost threw myself out of the way. It was speeding down the hill. They even overlooked the HVO car.
It makes sense that a clearly visible house number is helpful.
Ours is made of black metal.
HVO comes directly from the town, they don't need the number.

There is NOTHING that isn't regulated here – this one is in the Building Code §126 with the note that state laws can specialize this, often even punishable by fines.
Of course, such a small ancillary provision is not on every municipality’s radar, but as soon as you investigate, you will eventually find it, just like the potato bagging law and the vineyard snail regulation.
Of course, you will almost never need it, but maybe it does help once, and if it is that the neighboring building can be found faster because of my house number or a delivery service (/care service etc.) is happy to find better orientation in the street.
It’s only about the (possible) purpose of faster orientation, and therefore I would do it with or without a law, based on my own experiences, with or without frills, totally doesn’t matter.
Also, it can be helpful for the homeowners themselves if they come home drunk at night and all the houses in the residential area look almost the same.

There is NOTHING that is not regulated with us ... as soon as you investigate, you will eventually find it

Then take a look at Hilgermissen with the Geobasis.NI Viewer. Even illuminated house numbers won't help to find a house there. I experienced something similar in Bavaria, but I have forgotten the name of the village, which was even significantly larger than Hilgermissen. Without Annelies, I probably would have found the construction site only after an hour. In NRW, there is definitely no statewide regulation on house numbers.

Then take a look at Hilgermissen with the Geobasis.NI Viewer. Then a lit house number won’t help to find a house anymore. I've experienced something similar in Bavaria, but I have forgotten the name of the village, which was even significantly larger than Hilgermissen. Without Annelies, I probably would have found the construction site only after an hour.

I can well imagine that; where we currently live, I sometimes even feel that you wouldn’t be able to find the town at all. Therefore, in many areas, I still prefer the classic methods like asking. The topic of house numbers is not exactly a big breakthrough either, so it is not often discussed or is not always known in some authorities given the thousands of regulations.

In NRW there is in any case no statewide regulation on house numbers.

Then the federal law §126 of the Building Code applies, whereby as a non-NRW resident I just checked; there are even court cases and rulings concerning such topics....oh dear....in NRW, besides the Building Code, §14 OBG is also relied upon, which is apparently some kind of general statute in NRW similar to the now unfortunately abolished paragraph "Groben Unfug".

Just leave them... keep going

Let them...keep going

Sorry, but your question was

what else should I pay attention to?

and specified it

Where is it regulated how my house number must look?

Since one should pay attention to regulations, I do not find the references to the legal basis off topic at all.

Then the federal law §126 Building Code applies

Well, catchy is something else. It only states that you have to attach one and who is responsible. The OBG is equally unspecific. And even among the municipalities, more or less clearly defined regulations can be found sometimes in statutes and sometimes in internal guidelines. I find it remarkable that in Germany the systematics and design for the most important ordering criterion for the location determination of the smallest administrative unit is left, resulting in a variety of different regulations, starting with even/odd, right/left, consecutive, alternating, letters, fraction bars, hyphens, illumination, color, size up to the anarchy already mentioned in #46 - ok, giving the next house built in the village the next house number regardless of the location is also a regulation, albeit a senseless one.

As far as I know, the rescue workers also have access to property maps and such stuff.

Everyone has to come to terms with their own expectations for stroke rehab (being able to walk, but slurring?). No colder pizza comes with the ambulance in the worst case.
