Use of public street land / paving / garden gate

You have uploaded a street map. There is an orange trapezoid on it; that is your driveway. Behind it, on your property, is the gate. But now you want a wider driveway?

Yes, correct. The background is that the width of the driveway (approx. 3m) is needed for the electric gate as a car entrance. Next to it, there should be the small "pedestrian" gate.

ok understood.

I would simply inquire, talk to the person in charge personally without paperwork first, then you can already tell whether the willingness is basically there.

As one of probably tens of thousands of affected property owners who faced a similar situation, we simply paved over the small corner at our place (but it was at most 1 m²) ... let sleeping dogs lie and so on ... as a property administrator, I would send you a paid private-law usage contract. Transfer of traffic safety obligation, annual usage fee, and obligation to restore after the end of usage.

If that’s all, the metalworker Menzel in Thiendorf (formerly Tauscha) has already solved your problem - as far as I know, also doable as a conversion of an existing gate.

As one of probably 100,000 affected builders who faced a similar situation, we simply paved over the small corner at our place (but it was at most 1 m²) ... let sleeping dogs lie and so on ... as a property clerk, I would send you a paid private law usage agreement. Transfer of duty to secure traffic, annual usage fee and obligation to restore after termination of use.

Yes, I have also thought of this approach. Indeed, it can happen that the effort ultimately is no longer proportional to the benefit. However, I tend to prefer a formal clarification. According to initial experiences, resentment in our residential area is probably not to be excluded. And having to remove a constructed paving again? That would be very unfortunate.
