Am I correct in understanding that a brick-faced solid construction might possibly have the advantage of inexpensive "injection insulation"?
Very unlikely, but possible; in your case, I would not plan for it. Cavity walls with an air gap were built until the end of the 1950s, after which, in brickwork, only a mortar joint was used as a separating layer until the late 1970s, and since then always with insulation in the cavity. In northern Germany near the coast, air gaps were still sometimes used into the 1970s, but rather rarely. In individual cases, this can be recognized on site with a trained eye, sometimes also by the bearing point of the wall plate, if the air gap is open upwards to the cold roof space or to the side space, which was sometimes done in the 1950s.
This is called "blown-in insulation," by the way.
Is it realistically possible here to achieve insulation of the facade, roof, basement, and replacement of windows to EH85 standard?
With respect to the requirements for the building envelope, very likely yes. You probably will not achieve the primary energy demand for EH85 without the use of renewable energies (heat pump, solar, water-heated stove) – this needs to be calculated.
- Would this realistically be possible for <100k€?
If contracted to companies: No.
If 100% self-performed: Yes.
But since you probably will not replace the heating system yourself nor redo the roof covering yourself, then likely not.
If it suffices to insulate the roof from the inside and the covering does not have to be renewed—which is unlikely for a building year 1970—maybe. But even then, only with great difficulty. A new roof with associated work costs €200/m² and up, the facade €120-160/m², windows €600-900 each + front door + sliding elements on the terrace if desired. But electrical work is not yet done, interior plaster/paint is not renewed, floors not renewed, the kitchen is still old, and the bathroom with old pipes is still there.
There are cheaper alternatives for many tasks, sometimes with drawbacks (internal wall insulation, internal roof insulation), and some can be done as self-work. However, your questions indicate a lack of experience in this area, so I would not recommend it.
