Power cable of TEN (Thuringian Energy Networks) on construction site

Where and how is it written that we have a claim for removal?

Because the TEN always refers to the polluter pays principle, although I don't even really know what that is. -.-

That is the usual delaying tactic when they want to save costs. The line is legally unsecured because there is no registered easement, ergo the line has no business being on your property - regardless of whether you are digging there or not.

That has nothing to do with the polluter pays principle (the technical term belongs legally somewhere else), although the polluter is ultimately, of course, the one who once laid the cable there and then forgot to have the easement registered.

After all, I can't just park my car in your garage simply because it was open and you were on vacation.

Hello,

the reference to the NAV has already been given.

As far as the property is connected to the TEN network, their distribution lines must also be tolerated on the property. Exceptions are lines that serve exclusively the connection of another property.

If the line represents an unreasonable burden for the property owner, the network operator must relocate it at their own expense.

Thanks already for the many answers. We have now first paid the 3000€ because we currently cannot proceed further and I don’t want to move into a half-finished house later just because everything got delayed timewise.

Just two more questions for me, since I am meeting with my developer next week, from whom I unfortunately currently feel very left alone.
- Doesn’t an architect have to obtain all the plans for electricity, water, gas, etc.? That was at least the statement from TEN.
- Does the construction company have to obtain a pit permit or approval for digging the pit?

You have to obtain utility plans in advance, yes. But I can tell you from experience that this is not always the case and sometimes it doesn't help at all if you encounter faulty or undocumented lines.

As for digging out pits, I can't say offhand - do you need a building permit for such a pit in Thuringia?
