We bought a house in the spring that is half clad with red clinker bricks. We now need these to complete the cladding of the house, but we do not know where to find these clinker bricks. Does anyone know where one could inquire about this? It is a now 70-year-old light red clinker (see picture)

I am touched that Dieter Hallervorden's Dr. Zhivago sketch is such a classic *LOL*

Maybe you could show the house and determine the dimensions of the bricks?

How do you come to that? Even if you find the brick, it would, in case of doubt, look different in color from new after being exposed to the weather for 70 years.

There are some stores in Germany for tiles. There you can get old tiles, sometimes sold by the piece. The prices are far from reasonable, as they are considered a rarity (small quantities from clearance stock) and are suitable if only 2-3 pieces are needed for a renovation. I also think it is more advisable to choose new goods on site at the building materials dealer that visually come close.

Most manufacturers offer models labeled as "antique" or similar. Genuine old bricks can be found on specialized platforms, but unfortunately, they are usually as expensive as new ones or even more costly. Otherwise, I would refer once again to mayglow's advice. Since the brickwork at the top will look different anyway, I would consider creating a real contrast by using a distinctly different brick.

Take a look at Hoba Baustoffe, they offer clinker bricks for restorations.
