has even more worries, who would need to properly dig for the roots of damage: For many offenses lie hidden deep within the earth. If the subsoil has not been examined in detail for its load-bearing capacity and if it contains deposits from a former moor area, there may be settlements, in extreme cases to ground failure, whereby the ground bulges out under the weight of the house and the building sinks into the ground.

The construction expert Helmut Haarich complained, that traditional building constructions are falling behind more and more, to make way for modern technology. This, in turn, is “integrated into such a thicket of paragraphs, daß jede Abweichung von der Norm zur Straftat wird.“ Er zieht den bitteren Schluß: “Anyone who builds today as before 50 Years, will get a solid house, but not the blessing of the building authorities.”
