Thanks for the tip against the oxidation stains, it's definitely worth a try. Unfortunately, we don't have any leftover parquet. Otherwise, a runner will go on it ;) I will report on how it went.
Do the neighbors have personal liability insurance? That would be a classic case. Then it will be professionally replaced - probably the only way. Tinkering around, in my opinion, won’t work.
My wife said that too, but now a few weeks have already passed since we noticed it. I would feel a bit uncomfortable knocking on their door now and asking about their insurance.

Ah, that also explains why it already looks so bad. I was wondering how the wood could decompose in just two weeks. Oh dear. I would personally still ask nicely, it also depends on the type of communication. If I were the neighbor, I would immediately use my insurance, that’s what it’s for. I would also feel extremely uncomfortable and would want to settle it – I would be horrified to find out six months later that something like this was handled without me if it was my fault. Since the wood seems to be partially really rotted away (you definitely can’t call that oxidation spots anymore...) unfortunately, I don’t think you will avoid having to replace the corresponding boards.
Now water has apparently been dripping from the pot onto the parquet floor for over 2 weeks.
How is this supposed to happen?
No one is watering until it overflows and then maybe even more?
Does the plant normally not get watered?
Does the "pot" have a hole?
That doesn’t look like 2 or 4 weeks to me.
Either way, for me there should generally be some protection (mat or those things with wheels…) under the pot.
