Why don't my columns align like they should?

With the following XAML I get this layout: enter image description here

<GroupBox Header="Adres" Grid.Row="1" Grid.RowSpan="5">
    <Grid ShowGridLines="True">
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
            <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
            <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
            <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
            <ColumnDefinition Width="150"/>
            <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
            <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
            <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
        </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <Label HorizontalAlignment="Left" Content="Straat:"/>
        <TextBox Margin="130,0,0,0" Text="{Binding Address.Street}" Grid.Column="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="3" />

        <Label HorizontalAlignment="Left" Grid.Row="1" Content="Nr:"/>
        <TextBox Margin="130,0,0,0" Text="{Binding Address.Number}" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" />
        <Label HorizontalAlignment="Left" Grid.Row="1" Content="Ext:" Grid.Column="3"/>
        <TextBox Margin="130,0,0,0" Text="{Binding Address.NumberExtension}" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="3" />

        <Label HorizontalAlignment="Left" Content="Gemeente:" Grid.Row="2"/>
        <ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type ListView}}, Path=DataContext.Towns}" Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="1" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
        </ComboBox>
        <ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type ListView}}, Path=DataContext.Towns}" Grid.Row="2" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Grid.Column="2">
        </ComboBox>

        <Label Width="125" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Content="Land:" Grid.Row="3"/>
        <TextBox Margin="130,0,0,0" Text="{Binding Address.Country}" Grid.Column="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="3" Grid.Row="3" />
    </Grid>
</GroupBox>

Why don't my textboxes align with the columns I made? And why do the ComboBoxes DO align with the columns?

It seems the margins in your textboxes have been mistakenly set, causing their positioning to be misaligned with the grid's columns.
