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.
