A chat with Dr. Franz Rittig about Mecklenburg farmhouses through the ages.
Who can resist the picturesque effect of the Low German farmhouse? Not without romance, they stand in the landscape, with their thatched roofs pulled far down, less symmetrical half-timbering, small windows, often still with an "ollen Klöndör".
It seems to convey a sense of harmony and security. But inside, life was sparse. Hard work in the course of the seasons determined everyday life - not unlike what we know from Gottlieb Grambauer and his family from Kummerow.
Feel invited on a journey into the history of the farmhouse in Mecklenburg. Learn about its origins, the numerous types of construction and the traces that this house has left behind in literature and art. Franz Rittig doesn't want to tell us about the science of this house (which also exists), but to chat - about the home under the thatched roof.
