Is emergency opening for blinds on the upper floor absolutely necessary?

I specifically looked at the building permit provided by the seller yesterday; a second escape route is not mentioned anywhere in the text, and I simply cannot find anything about it in the drawings either. Well, I have two large windows on the gable side, and underneath is the parking space - one of those should be suitable.

Normally, however, it should actually be marked as a 2nd emergency exit or something similar.

It is useless if only the escape route is marked. The emergency opening of the blinds must also be available...

If not available, then no ER. Of course, what is stated on it must be included.

A second escape route is mandatory in every federal state according to the state building code. Therefore, it should also be stated in your building permit. There must be at least one openable window sash (usually at least 90x120) that the fire department can access with a ladder. This means that the ladder vehicle must be able to reach the window, and there must be enough space to turn. Overhead power lines do not interfere. I don’t know your parking space, but it should be feasible. Up to 3 people can also be rescued with a normal ladder. So it depends on how many people live with you. The escape route does not have to be signposted but must always be functional (i.e., not blocked, sash not locked).
