which garden fence with privacy screen

, I know other opinions are not welcome, but I don’t want to argue with several neighbors over a fence, and that is very important to me.

It is completely fine. Everyone should use their property as they like within the bounds of the circumstances. After all, you can also drive a Fiat Multipla and find it nice.

I find the attitude of wanting to shield oneself as much as possible from one's environment odd. I like to chat with the neighbors, even over the plants. The children used to go back and forth, you could pass a shovel over.

I have lived in Germany for 47 years and have witnessed enough how neighbors behave just because they own property. Everyone watches everyone else, everything is examined, criticized. The neighbors complained because one neighbor left garden tools lying around for a long time, the hedge or the tree was too tall, something was sprayed, he was dead. And, and, and

your garden is really a dream.

One advantage of the uniform boundaries. No neighborhood disputes about being too tall, too close, etc.

Who owns the green strips in front of the houses?

Well, there are all kinds of people… but not everyone is the way you describe. And every region has its own styles and customs, just like every country or continent – just as you wouldn’t expect to plant street trees in an old town city center, it is odd when someone wants to build a single-family house on a sufficiently large plot and doesn’t really know or, more importantly, want to arrange the garden somewhat suitably to its surroundings (planting etc., also fences). In the suburbs of big cities, privacy screens may have their justification, but somewhere you should also want to mentally integrate into a community when you move into a residential area. That also requires sensitivity and mutual consideration. The same applies to building styles: in hot areas, you build the roof into the house, in the rainy north everyone is happy about every ray of sunshine that reaches them. Whatever! Let the original poster build their wall and make their gravel garden – the trouble, whether from the authorities, neighbors, or even the child who has already been taught in daycare that radishes grow in the ground and bumblebees need to be saved, will be theirs. Every young person and builder also has the right to still develop ;)

Which fence can you recommend to us? We were thinking of the standard double wire mesh fence, but the privacy strips for it are very expensive

I find artificial privacy screens, especially the privacy strips, quite ugly. But it's a matter of taste. :-) If I were you, I would simply let the wire mesh fence be covered with different climbing plants. It takes a few years, but it's much more beautiful.
