You might want to close this as an errant question so that no one else spends time on it like I just have :-)

Ohne nähere Einzelheiten würde ich raten: between moat and courtyard.

Re: Straßenname You are right, I just checked the address of the office and it is located on the Hofstrasse :) Thank you!
LegalTrans D Dec 4, 2012:
Klingt für mich wie ein Straßenname Die Adresse "Hofgraben" kommt ja relativ häufig vor, in vielen Städten, in denen es ein Schloss, eine Burg oder einen sonstigen "Hof" mit einem Graben gab und in denen davon außer dem Graben oft nicht viel übrig geblieben ist. Welche Stadt ist das denn, Lingua.Franca?

moat

That's what I would say if Hofgraben is not an actual address but the experts should weigh in on this..

The office units are placed at the south side of the building between the moat and the courtyard.
Note from asker:
Hi Michael, It turned out to be an address (Hofgraben Strasse). Thank you for your answer.

exactly
agree Helen Shiner : If it is an address, then it may also be a thing, too. I think since it is Innenhof and not 'dem Innenhof' that it is more likely a thing!

Thanks, Helen. I am not sure how significant the absence of articles is in this sentence..
agree Trudy Peters : I agree, too. Maybe asker could google for a map of the city to find out.

Indeed.
agree Usch Pilz : Almost 100% sure it's not an address.

Thanks, Usch.
agree Cilian O'Tuama : but located/positioned o.ä., not "placed"
10 hrs
That's all right. I'll take it..
agree Stephen Reader : w/ your proviso, Michael (& could even omit the articles like the D does, if 'things' & not (or not primarily, here) addresses.
