Neighbor is encroaching on the property

There is absolutely nothing against inviting your neighbor, even this one, for a beer! Nevertheless, in my opinion, it is not up to eisbaer_oz to smooth things over. This should be done by his neighbor if he cares about a reasonable relationship. If one is aware of this, one may still gladly leave gifts at the neighbor’s door (the smarter one gives in) out of gratitude that he finally refrains from storing his stuff on eisbaer_oz's property.

Sorry, I see and read this differently. The original poster does not want a broken neighborhood relationship. However, you get one quickly with a certain type of person who handles interactions carelessly but reacts very roughly to letters where a deadline or a warning is perceived as a threat. These types of people may be rather simple-minded; perhaps unhealthy selfishness or thoughtlessness is the reason they then lick their wounds offended. One must approach such people as a wise fellow, otherwise, you have them as an enemy, which TE probably does not want.

We sent him a registered letter today ...

Mhm - is that the right way to resolve conflicts?

Best regards from the Rhineland

I would have approached him earlier as suggested by and handed over a letter with the same content in the presence of witnesses. Let's wait and see. I hope keeps us updated.

Yes, tact and diplomacy look different. Let's see what Eisbär has to report.

I know, but on the construction site we would have only met again next week and by then time will unfortunately be too tight for me, because we have already ordered our excavator for in 10 days.
