Typisch Bergisch: Fachwerk richtig sanieren I Praxisbesuch: Traditionelle Handwerkstechniken und neue Lösungsansätze

In the organizer's words:

Practical visit: Traditional craftsmanship techniques and new solutions

The dream of owning a home in the Bergisch city-triangle is becoming an ever greater challenge, especially for young families, due to rising real estate prices. Often, the only affordable options left on the market are the historic half-timbered houses that characterize the region - however, these are often associated with renovation or modernization backlogs and many are therefore quick to shy away from a purchase. However, renovating and preserving a historic half-timbered house is not only an opportunity to acquire property at a comparatively low price, but also a sustainable and circular economy concept: the traditional construction method using wood, clay and lime relies on durable, repairable and reusable materials. In this way, a piece of the region's architectural identity can be preserved while conserving resources and reducing CO₂ emissions.

What does timber frame renovation actually look like on the construction site? At this event, Aleksandra Konopek opens up her half-timbered house undergoing renovation. Traditional craftsmanship techniques, new solutions and practical experience from the conversion process will be presented. Participants will gain direct insights into materials, constructions and decision-making processes on site.

The meeting point is at 17:00 at the fountain on the Gräfrath market square and ends at 19:00.
