But then the question is how the house on parcel 73 was ever approved?
Probably old stock from a time when the 3-meter setback rule did not yet exist. In my home village in Bavaria, there are also numerous old buildings that would not have been even remotely feasible by today’s standards: dirty corners of 70 or 120 cm between two houses, houses meeting at a corner, built directly on the street without a sidewalk, etc. Back when the feudal lords were still called "Elector of Mainz," "Prince-Bishop of Würzburg," "King of Bavaria," or "German Emperor," such things were definitely possible.
And just because the feudal lord changed, old buildings have never had to be torn down (except in special cases). The new building regulations only apply to new constructions or possibly renovations. With exceptions for fire protection and possibly environmental law.
