House Pictures Chat Corner - Show off your house pictures!

Where it’s getting so lively here, I’ll show the cover for our heat pump: These units are normally placed in front of a wall. The wind is not supposed to blow “unhindered” through there. For us, another direction made more sense, so protection was needed from the back. Unfortunately, it’s too small and still needs to be reworked (also closed off from the side).

But that will probably take a while...

I’m helping out to revive the thread. Probably built in 1930, no plans of anything available, surprises during interior work are the order of the day. Nothing is standardized, nothing in standard dimensions, everything more expensive than in "standard houses" – nevertheless, we love our little house with all our hearts...

Very nice, the architect could have been a student of Olbrich or Riemerschmid.

I found two more pictures of part of the garden so you can get an impression of it as well. The windows there are currently being adapted in the same style as shown in the picture in the previous post (casement windows with tilt windows above).

Very good. It seems to me that the attic is a full floor. I am happy about every mansard roof (unfortunately, they are regularly thwarted by development plans nowadays).

Thanks! Yes, the attic floor is also a full story. Due to the perspectives, it is not clearly visible (only partially in picture no. 1 of the garden) – in the attic floor, we actually have a room height of over 5 meters in the middle of the house. On the ground floor, we have a room height of 2.70 meters, on the upper floor of 2.40 meters.

I still have two photos from the former exposé on which you can better guess the height of the roof.



Interestingly, as far as we know, the building was not originally planned entirely as it is, but was originally connected with the white building in picture no. 2 of this post and was later separated during the demolition of a farmstead. This can still be well traced by the parcels, as the two properties are designated as parcels 116/1 and 116/2.

I like that our house has history (experienced). The whole village knows our house, half the village also from the inside, as the previous owner was one of the primary school teachers and received children at home for parent meetings and tutoring.

The aunt of the previous owner suffered from polio, so the family decided to create a room for her that should allow as much light and participation in garden and village life from the room as possible. I benefit from this daily, as I have converted this light-filled room into my study (now furnished differently):

Since the aunt was dependent on a wheelchair, the house has standard door widths of 95 cm, which we find very pleasant. The wide entrance door of 1.44 meters is also very practical in everyday life...

We found the house by chance on a real estate platform, called directly (realtor: “Oh, I only uploaded it 5 minutes ago?”), had the viewing the next day, and already when crossing the threshold we knew: “This is ours!” We reserved it right at the viewing, and the next day accepted without negotiation...

There is always something to do in the house, and since the previous owner’s husband was an enthusiastic (but rather partially skilled) handyman, there are some sins of the past to be undone...

In short: We love it!

Probably built in 1930, no plans of anything available

A great house! At the time, for our house (probably built in 1900), I was still able to get copies of the original building application including some (few) drawings and various applications from subsequent years from the building authority. Give that a try. Otherwise, when we bought it, we were only handed over the user manual of the gas condensing boiler.

Thanks, we have actually already tried that. Unfortunately, our building authority was destroyed in the Second World War, so no documents from that time are preserved.

In our building file, there were documents about the installation of an oil heating system that no longer exists (built around 196x) and the patio door (built around 198x). Unfortunately, nothing more. The lady from the building authority then said directly, "But don't worry, that is normal in our area for this construction year. You have protection as an existing structure, and we are very accommodating with old buildings because we want to preserve them."

That eased my fears of encountering problems a bit... It looks different with the banks, though; for them, it often represents a problem because we are not a standard case and cannot provide the standard documents.

and once again a look at the heat pump cover.
It somehow looks more "correct" than when it was still open on the side.
