I spent a couple of hours in a village in the Odenwald, called Schaafheim (nothing to do with sheep, but with “scop”, i.e. barn or shed).
This half-timbered house is typical for the area – with a solid stone base, usually of reddish sandstone. With modern windows (the German state has for years subsidized well insulated windows to save energy) and old fashioned shudders.
And here are a few windows I saw during my short visit.

Thanks. It was really just a short stop but basically you can find these kind of houses in every village here.

I’m sorry these lovely buildings give you ‘old fashioned shudders’!!!

The photos are nice. There was, however, an error. Probably spell-check caused. You used the word “shudders” which means shaking, as when someone reacts to something, or when something vibrates in an unusual way. I think the shutters on those windows were holding still and not vibrating in the wind. Haha.

Ah Elke, you also have the Fachwerk Houses this week 😀. I was just writing on Geriatrix’s blog that the patterns in the German ones are a bit different than the ones she’s shown from a town in France. And I love the little windows with the lace curtains on them..Thanks for sharing with Monday Window!
