Hello.

Why is the basement often concreted and not built with masonry, even though the ground floor and attic are built with masonry?

On the ground floor/attic, you see a lot of monolithic construction with bricks, but in the basement there is a multi-layer structure with concrete and external insulation, which the builders obviously decided against above ground.

What are the pros and cons here?

Greetings from Swabia.

Well, concrete is waterproof/er than stone.

And the reason why [eg] and [og] are built with masonry is probably due to the flexibility of the walls.

Next point: Earth pressure

Not every stone likes that.
