    Does anyone know why flats are called "Top" in German (Top 5 on the second floor, for example ?
    And are they also called "Top" in English?

    TOP könnte Tagesordnungspunkte bedeuten.

    Ì've never heard that before but from Google I gather that it's an Austrian thing, and it seems to be simply a way of listing the properties: so Top 1, Top 2 etc. instead of writing flat 1 (or offer 1), flat 2...

    Maybe somebody from Austria can confirm that?

    I don´t know if its an Austrian thing or if it`s also common in other German speaking countries.

    Yes, Gibson, it`s a way of listing flats.
    It just occured to me that it could be derived from "topographical".
    But maybe kg is right and it`s got to do with "agenda"??

    I (Northern Germany) have heard TOP as an abbreviation only for Tagesordnungspunkt, never for flat. I would also assume that it might be a regional thing.

    Die Hausverwalter und Immobilienmakler reden hier in Wien alle so:

    Top 4 hätte ich noch frei!

    Top 1
    Top 2
    Top 3

    the Top 5
