House number assignment

House numbers are assigned on the basis of building applications, notifications of construction measures or at the request of the owners by the independent municipalities, association municipalities or cities. Street names and house numbers are used for orientation in the urban or municipal area and fulfill a classification function for all personal or location-related data.

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

Checking whether a house number has been affixed by the owner of the property/house is the responsibility of the local authorities as the general regulatory authority. The local house number signage is also checked in the event of complaints. The property owner is then requested to ensure that the house number is visible from the traffic area.
