Inside My 500 Year Old German Apartment 

This is maybe the best comment you can get from a German when showing him your appartement.

@@olli1068 In der Tat

@@olli1068Or in Franken….bassd scho.

Kann man nicht meckern

Or just „Jo“ in Westphalia

Very clever. Thanks.

literally :)

Air conditioning is now politically correct and environmental friendly, because you can use it to heat instead of gas Mit so einer Wärmepumpe kann ein Vermieter auch prima GEG Vorgaben einhalten.

and under the roof!!!!

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.

He has an air-condition in his bedroom;) u could see the white hose for a second. He is a cheater!:)

Liberal use of Raid will penetrate those cracks.

@@mojojim6458 Liberal use of Raid will kill you!

@@mikebegonia6134 Liberal use of Raid will kill the BUGS.

​@@mojojim6458You are supposed to air out your room very well for at least 2 hours, so RAID seems to be totally harmless. 🤔

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

i got a house with garden from 1963. Because it was cheap and affordable 10 Years ago. :-)

Schwäbisch Hall was never destroyed in any war. The oldest houses are up to 900 years old.

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.

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) .

It also survived the big conflagration of 1728.

Schwäbisch Hall was never destroyed in any war. This makes this city so unique. And most of the old houses are inhabited. Rothenburg for example is a pure tourist town.

In the middle ages Schwäbisch Halls has own mony, the Heller. To this day, official currency in the Czech Republic and Hungary.

Totally cool - a celebrity sighting! You should have bought him a cup of Starbucks. 😃

​@@karmaoutlawthere is no Starbucks in Schwäbisch Hall😂😂

🤣🤣🤣

How you act, when you are drunk, depends on how much and how often you drink ;-)

Very appropriate for this artist.

First thing I have noticed. :D

I use fleur de sel ;-)

400-500 years old is not that special

@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. 😊

@@nikitaeurope hello there. Thank you for responding. I love Bitburger beer! My cousin worked there and introduced to the brand in 1985. I realized I didn’t spell Sulm correctly. I thought that those that did, they would understand. Thank you for all the statistics on the town. I always enjoy myself when visiting my family.

@@Fatboy00000 thanks for the cheerful response.

@@williambrenner541 You are very welcome 🤗 My familie lives in a small village in the same area, so I know Bitburg quite well. I had never heard about Sülm but it seems to be close to Speicher which I also know quite well. Speicher had the only disco in the area when I was a teenager. And there is a very small river in the area that is called Salm (the German word for Salmon). You triggered my attention with your story about Bitburg because I grew up in the area. I absolutely understand that you would like to live there. It is a really beautiful area especially if you do not want the noise and stress that comes with big cities. 😃

He's playing for the Golden Bears.

during the night the river is cooling down the temperature. And the sun shines in the Valley not the whole day

oh yes, i believe i can explain why the bed shakes

@@jgeur 😉

Moin, der Bahn, ein schönes Video! Wir wohnen seit 10. Dezember in einer Mietwohnung. Haus ist inzwischen verkauft. Zum Glück. Und wir fühlen uns hier sehr wohl. Sehe wie es heißt: behindertengerecht. Keine Stufen, dafür Fahrstuhl draußen im Treppenhaus. Schön von dir mal wieder zu hören, ich hoffe, du bist nicht so über arbeitet! Liebe Grüße aus Ahrensburg ich bin

@@tasminoben686 Moin Ben, schön, dass es euch in der neuen Wohnung gefällt, und dass alles gut geklappt hat! :) Hatte jetzt zwar Urlaub, war aber ständig beim Arzt, da es mir nicht gut ging. Bin mit einer Autoimmunkrankheit diagnostiziert worden, wenigstens schonmal ein Anfang. Muss auch eine neue Wohnung finden, weil die Vermieter Eigenbedarf angekündigt haben. Kommt also alles zusammen, viel Stress. Wünsche euch weiterhin eine gute Zeit, bis irgendwann zum nächsten Mal hier. ;)

Schick dir das! Drück dir die Daumen, dass deine Ärzte das in den Griff bekommen! Und du schnell eine passende Wohnung findest. Immer noch München? Ist ja nicht gerade billig dort. Auch bei mein Frau ist im März eine Autoimmunerkrankung diagnostiziert worden. Betrifft die Speicheldrüsen und Ähnliches. Jetzt hat sie einen Ärzte Run hinter sich zu bringen. Alle möglichen Fachrichtungen. Ja Wohnung ist toll. Beziehung nicht mehr so. Gehen frei zeitlich meist getrennte Wege. Für mich ja nicht so einfach. Habe gerade annonciert, um eine Begleitperson für einen Kurzurlaub zu finden. Drück dir die Daumen und drück dich auch! Alles Gute bis demnächst mal! Ben🫶🏻👍🏻

und man wohnt bedeutend gesündern als in diesen neuen Niedrigenergiehäusern. Mein Vater ist Architekt, er nennt diese Häuser Plastiktüten.

@catmaaske1908: Then your daughter will know why she lives in Germany. There is so much that Germany has to offer.

The open kitchen is definitly an American style import. Would have been unimaginable 30 years ago, to not have a separate room for it.

its no look its really medieval 🙂

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!

Schwäbisch Hall always payed for not being destroyed. It was a very rich city in former times.

The reason why the plants are doing well is because Mountain Guide is watering them.

@@mojojim6458 thanks god! The amazing balcony needs also some plants.

@@astara5802 That never occurred to me, but your absolutely right!

but then the Spaghetti would be a potatoe

She IS the exorcist!
