Substantive law: the building law

The building right is an inheritable and alienable real right to a thing , i.e. a usufruct .

In contrast to the Superedificate , this is a permanent building. The term of such a contract - between the owners of the land and the structure - is between 10 and 100 years. Usually, the building rights provider receives a corresponding payment , the building interest, from the building rights applicant / building owner . The person authorized to build has the rights of the owner of the building and the rights of the usufructuary to the property . After the contractually agreed deadline has expired, the building becomes the property of the landowner in return for appropriate compensation .
