The half-timbered house in 2014

The half-timbered house Heideweg 76 is a listed timber-framed house in Rösrather district Forsbach. The monument reflects largely unchanged the living conditions in the 19th century and, together with the agricultural area remaining between the building and the adjacent forest area, is a typical example of the settlement and economic structure of the Bergisches Land .

description

The house, which dates from the early 19th century and was built in two phases, consists partly of masonry and partly of half-timbered construction (post construction with storey-high, slightly curved struts). Under one half of the house there is a vaulted cellar made of quarry stone masonry with a clay floor. The older part on the valley side consists of two rooms, from one of which a straight staircase leads to the upper floor. The newer, mountain-side part of the house has a floor 16 cm higher because of the basement. On the upper floor, the room doors from the 19th century have been preserved, some of them still with old bolts and fittings. In addition to spruce wood, second-hand oak wood can also be found in the roof structure. The originally open hearth has fallen victim to the installation of a new fireplace. In the 1950s, the house on the valley side received a towed extension to accommodate a bathroom and a utility room. With a few exceptions, the windows in the entire building are designed as single-wing lattice windows with a reinforced vertical central lattice.
