Rathaus Lützelsachsen

It used to be that half timbered meant dark wood and white washed panels in between but in recent years colour has come into play.

  • Lindenfels
  • Michelstadt

At first it took me a bit to get used to it but when it works, it works.

Windows in Sauer’s place

· 6 Comments ·

A half-timbered house in Ladenburg in the south west of Germany was the birthplace of Johann Christoph Sauer.

The plaque on the house is in German, Pennsylvania Dutch and English explaining about Johann Sauer.

Sauer was a Pennsylvania-German printer who in 1743 printed the first German bible in America known as the “Sauer Bible”.

Sandstone windows

In our area sandstone is widely used in houses, sometimes for the whole building but often as a contrasting material. It is used as a frame for windows from the ornamental to the mundane to utilitarian.
