Is it allowed to position privacy screens arbitrarily on your own property?

By the way, this is the gem.

Wow! :cool: That’s dazzling :P
It’s definitely something special! I actually like it, since I like gray metal, but in size and mass ... it’s quite a hefty caliber! And reflective in the evening sun ;)

By the way, this is the piece of jewelry.

Stardate 85412.38 - the Borg have landed with a shuttle in a Lower Saxony garden.

I also find that thing ugly. It could really be that the part causes a real disturbance in the summer, then you’ll have to talk to each other again anyway. Or it will resolve itself because the neighbor won’t like the mirror part anymore either.

But first of all, it is set so low that the problem is almost completely solved by "looking over it" in a figurative sense.

Yes, but only when viewed from the attic.

and secondly, I would simply consider it a container for storing construction equipment.

But the neighboring house is already too far progressed for that:

So not the shed

But that's exactly the point. The regulation regarding the minimum distance is meant to avoid dirty corners, and you don't avoid them if you place a base on the boundary but offset the rising wall. If you did it the same way, exactly the 20cm gap to be avoided would have been created.

Yes, you really can’t just overlook that from the ground floor. Especially since the big earthen mound in our garden won’t be staying there. We will level it and then have grass there. And our focal point, basically where everything is oriented towards, is naturally exactly that corner with the metal shed, because that’s where our garden is largest.

We can make sure on our property that we set up some privacy screening so we don’t have to see it anymore. What annoys me more is the broken agreement we had regarding the hedge. We were a bit harshly presented with a fait accompli there, but I’m not going to start any trouble over the garden with people we’ll have to get along with for the next 20 years. It’s not that important to me. I just want things to look nice on my side, and we’ll manage that somehow.
Currently, I’m thinking of fence elements like these:

And I would then green them on our side, and the neighbor can do and put whatever he wants on his side. :)

What I find more annoying is the agreement we made regarding the hedge that was not kept.

Very unfortunate!
