Half-timbering is a way of constructing wood frame structures with the structural timbers exposed. This medieval method of construction is called timber framing. A half-timbered building wears its wood frame on its sleeve, so to speak. The wooden wall framing — studs, cross beams, and braces — are exposed to the outside, and the spaces between the wooden timbers are filled with plaster, brick, or stone.
Wood is the basic material used in the construction of half-timbered buildings. The characteristic features of this wood, the climatic conditions and the carpenters’ skills are decisive to the dimensions and forms of the half-timbered houses.This building method is extremely ecological, environmentally sustainable and aesthetic.
Europe is full of timber-framed structures dating back hundreds of years, including manors, castles, homes, and inns, whose architecture and techniques of construction have evolved over the centuries.
Half-timbered towns and villages remain a characteristic of the landscape in many parts of Germany to this day. There are many small towns which escaped both war damage and modernisation and consist mainly, or even entirely, of half-timbered houses. Indeed, the country’s more than 2.5 million half-timbered structures are the pride and joy of municipalities and owners.
