#2187. Classic Red and White Half-Timbered Facade with Geometric Decoration

The photograph captures a striking example of traditional half-timbered construction. We are looking at a classic gable of a German Fachwerk house, executed in the characteristic red and white color scheme. The triangular pediment presents an expressive architectural composition, where the wooden frame is painted in rich red, while the infill between the beams is white.

The facade demonstrates a complex geometric system of wooden elements forming X-shaped, arched, and linear motifs. Particularly noteworthy is the symmetry of the composition with central windows at each level, emphasizing the vertical axis of the gable. The upper window is framed by decorative elements and complemented by a small balcony with metal railings.

The upper part of the gable is crowned with a decorative spire, which gives completeness to the entire composition. Attention to detail is manifested in the carefully crafted patterns of the half-timbering, where straight and curved elements create a rhythmic geometric pattern across the entire surface of the facade. This architectural monument is a vivid example of medieval European building tradition, demonstrating both the functionality and aesthetic expressiveness of half-timbered construction.
