Spontaneously and from a distance, I would say into the stairwell :)

Where does the door lead?

To the stairwell :)

That's exactly why I'm converting the attic XD

Did you add a staircase, and was the area wrapped in green tape the location of the former pull-down ladder?

Did you add a stairwell and was the area wrapped in green the location of the former retractable staircase?

No, we pushed the construction staircase through the hole as long as there was no staircase in the stairwell yet. That’s why the panel was installed last. The staircase continues all the way up to the attic.

It looks like this from the other side:

I'm curious to see how the house will be transformed into a gem. It has potential. If you no longer need the grille on the upper window, I think I could use it. ;) Is it made entirely of sandstone or are the other walls half-timbered? It's a pity about the windows. Does only the facade have to be preserved, or are there also requirements for the interior? Be careful where old and newer (1960s) building materials meet. That’s where we found the most damage during demolition. Yes, we demolished. Nothing could be done anymore. The sandstone walls of the outbuildings still stand as a retaining wall.

It might be that I’ll get back to you. Currently, it’s in the cellar. The other walls are white plastered and rather unspectacular.

The requirements of the historic preservation authority are actually relatively unspectacular. The building itself is not listed. The buildings around it are partially monuments, and overall there is a protection against changes for the old town. That means specifically for us: Although there are no subsidies, we still have to get approval for anything that changes the facade. The advantage is: We can deduct everything related to the renovation of the facade on our taxes, and KFW historic preservation applies to us.

Attached are the floor plans as we found them and the site plan:

Maybe it would be good if you start your own thread. Your project is getting lost here.
Do you want to gut the interior and also change the rooms?
I love old properties without 90-degree angles
