Actually, if the attic is properly insulated you won't need AC in Germany in a traditional wattle and daub masonry with wooden frames. The material is cool in summer and warm in winter. Much better than any other houses. I live in such myself for almost 25 years, wouldn't want to change. Ours is from the 1700s.

Nick, Spiders are good. You can't get rid of them, these old houses everywhere have little cracks and holes in the wooden beams, where they can hide from You. On the other side: Where there are spiders, there is no mold. Spiders don't like that. And mold is worse than some spiders. Also they eat the flies.

Spiders are very useful. They kill some other critters you also don't like, eg. mosquitos.

Cozy apartment. - Having spiders in your building is actually considered to be a sign for a good room-climate (humidity, temperature, toxicity).

Now, that is old even for German standards! Usually when Americans are astonished about how old every building here is, they are baffled by 100 year old buildings - the one I live in is about 94 years. A lot of our younger buildings are about 70 years old - built in the late 40s, early 50s, after the war rubble got slowly moved away. We still divide our houses into Oldbuilts - Altbauten - like the ones you and I are living in, pre WW II - postwarbuilts - Nachkriegsbauten. And impossible to pay: Newbuilts.

Saturday I visited another BIG old house in Schwäbisch Hall. Two attics and the roof were very dilapidated. Cost 1 million euros. And every old house has two cellars... The oldest cellar can be up to 800 years old. This makes this town so unique. In Germany, Europe and the whole world.

On a positive note, the presents of spiders means that your room climate is good.

Spiders are a good sign, good living climate in the appartment. Also necessary to keep the ghost under control.

Oh look, it's a Fachwerk house! Adorable! Okay, so the floors might be a bit wavy, but hey, most people don't roller-skate in their apartments. And it survived two world wars (plus maybe a dozen assorted smaller wars in the centuries before that); that sort of thing builds character.

In the "good old days" with no fire fighters, open light from oil-lamps or candles, open fire to cook on and heat the rooms fires were frequent and reduced entire towns to ashes in no time. Then came the menace from wars like the 30-years-war in which the usual way of "finance" the armies was to tell town-people that they either gave what they had "on their own will" or see their town set afire ( "Brandschatzen" ;Brand=fire, Schatz=treasure, wealth) .

@williambrenner541 The little village is called Sülm and it has 470 inhabitants. The nearby city is called Bitburg ( a little over 14.000 inhabitants). Bitburger is the name of the beer 🍺 brand that is brewed in Bitburg. The brewery sponsored a lot of soccer games of the German national team and is therefore well-known in Germany. Bitburger could also be the description for a person that is from Bitburg. It is important to be a little precieze because Sulm is the name of a river in a totally different area of Germany, near Heilbronn plus there is a river and a town with the name Sulm in southern Austria. 😊

Thabk you for the tour. It seems to be quite a high building, especially considering it was built in the 1500s. What a gorgeous view! Also, I just love these huge old exposed beams and the bricks. Very comforting atmosphere.

Nice place! But I am sorry to disappoint you on those stairs. If you actually have seen wooden stairs that are a few hundred years old you would know they would be incredibly worn every place where one places ones foot. The wear would be deep grooves in the wood that would look somewhat polished. Judging from the look of those stairs - I'd say max 30 years.

Der Ausblick ist super schön!

The view from the top of Schwäbisch Hall's old (and new) houses is amazing. Because of my job I could see these views from the top of several of these houses for myself. Including one of the neighboring ones.

Imagine, this building was build about the time Christoph Columbus found the american continent, well that was 1492. The building had already seen more than one human lifetime before the USA came into existence.

Did someone who lived there decided to go to "the new world" back then? I mean not 500 years ago, because the US did not exist then, but later?

Vellberg has a 24/7 Store where u can get food and drinks like in a normal grocerie store. Watched the video where u talked about stores not being open on Sundays, so if u need something on any Sunday and u got a Car u could check it out. It‘s a "Setzer" in Vellberg near by an Edeka. Have a good one Lg

Of course the house has ghosts. Just imagine how many people had called it a home in 500 years of history. You don't need to be even mildly superstitious to realize, that they left their "footprints" and marks there. Maybe their soul is not trapped there, but a part of their heart and life went into this house. And now you are part of the history of that house.

Cool ❤ I would move in there immediately!

The old house has obviously been thoroughly renovated, so the roof will be well insulated. Incidentally, such ancient buildings often have a much better indoor climate than houses from the 20th century. Even in the late Middle Ages / Early Modern Times, the carpenters and bricklayers mastered their craft, which is proven by the fact that the 500-year-old half-timbered house is still standing. When the Pilgrim Fathers reached America, it was already around 100 years old!

There were three floors and on each floor there was practically only one room. Downstairs was the kitchen, the bathroom and a small terrace with a small garden. The second floor was the bedroom. There was practically no door, but only a small hallway that led further up under the roof, where the living room was. It had charm, but the stairs were very narrow and old.

It looks very cozy but tight at the same time. Very good for a start, but nothing for longer periods of time.
