Distances and rules

A public road has red lines and a building setback. Near a street the building is set back from the red line; along regional or federal roads a wider roadside strip restricts construction. A public road is part of the urban-development plan — unlike a garden path.

Federal road / motorway 20 m (Bundesstraße) / 40 m (Autobahn) no-build zone Germany — Federal Roads Act (FStrG), §9 (no-build zone)
Local streets Set by the Bebauungsplan (~3–5 m) Local rules

Important limitation

This is a planning aid, not a legal opinion. Before construction, check the local land-use rules, easements, the network/utility operator’s requirements and neighbour buildings.
