Punkt XII – Ort der Begegnungen
Activity report – renovating the old half-timbered houses by hand

XIActivity reports · since 2016

The story, step by step.

Since the Punkt XII e.V. association was founded in 2016, the place's development has been documented in activity reports – here with photo and text, so the path from the very beginning to today can be traced.

—A life's work

From vision to living place.

In 1990 it all begins as an idea in the heart of the Steigerwald. What follows is decades of work by hand: foundations, roof structures, interior finishing – stone by stone, report by report. Since 2016 the Punkt XII e.V. association has carried this development forward and recorded it in activity reports.

—The reports

Every stage – with photo and text.

Report · The start of a life's work

What is Punkt XII today began as a vision in the heart of the Steigerwald. Foundations and walls are built by hand – the first step on a path that continues to this day.

Report · The roof takes shape

The roof timbers of the house are raised – by hand, beam by beam. A visible milestone on the path from idea to a living, inhabitable place.

Build-up

Report · Walls, timber framing and old courtyards

Old half-timbered houses and courtyards are secured and renovated piece by piece – scaffold by scaffold, by hand. Derelict walls gradually become an inhabitable, living place.

Report · The interior finishing

Work continues inside while new rooms are already taking shape outside. Every stage of this path is documented – photo by photo, so the development stays traceable.
