Hello,

see question/concern. It is about the following: We are students in Meckpomm and are supposed to redesign an existing street. Now there are voices saying that there is a certain specification (for the respective street) or guideline that prescribes up to a certain point how a roof must be oriented towards the street, is that correct?

Presumably, those voices come to this conclusion because there are many streets here with houses whose roofs are very uniformly oriented towards the street (no terraced houses).

In my opinion, it is completely irrelevant and it is up to each builder how he wants to orient his roof (and thus possibly also the house) towards the street (within the framework of the building area designated for development).

Best regards,

Iba

Nope. In the development plan (if one exists) it is precisely specified how the house and thus the roof must be oriented. Usually, the house can face any direction, but often an effort is made, for the sake of the cityscape, to align the houses parallel to the street.

That's how it is. And there is no Plan B, but rather [der 34 er Paragraph] applies, according to which the new building must fit into the surrounding neighborhood – and since they all have west-east gable ridges, you probably won't get permission for north-south ridges.
