Literal question
Question 6: Do you occupy an additional dwelling?
The term "this dwelling" refers to the dwelling for which the present personal questionnaire is completed.
The term "another dwelling" (accommodation/room) may also refer to furnished rooms at the place of work or training/education.
For persons completing compulsory military service and those called up for military exercises, the barracks are not to be considered another dwelling. Persons having an additional dwelling or accommodation aboard a ship should mark "no" for question 6 (exception: permanently anchored houseboats).
For married persons who are not permanently living separate, the dwelling predominantly used by the family must be considered the main dwelling, according to the registration law. This applies to weekend or monthly commuters and workers at distant construction sites. For all other persons (singles, widowed, divorced and married persons living permanently separate) the registration law specifies that the dwelling predominantly used is the main dwelling. In cases of doubt, the predominately used dwelling is the one constituting the focus of a person's life.
