house number assignment

House numbers are assigned based on building applications, notifications of construction projects, or at the request of property owners. Street names and house numbers serve as orientation tools within the city or municipality and fulfill an organizational function for all personal or location-related data.

In order to be able to integrate new buildings into an existing house number sequence, it may be necessary to change existing house numbers.

The local authorities, as the general regulatory authority, are responsible for checking whether a house number has been attached by the owner of the property/house. The local house number signs are also checked in the event of complaints. The property owner is then asked to provide a house number that is visible from the traffic area.
