German Lego Farm House
Tuesday, March 9th, 2010If you love the farm and love Lego, better equip your Lego farm with the newest tractor in Legoland. The tractor comes with a pig farm, making your Lego farm collection a complete one. If you are trying to make your own Lego nation, what’s a nation without the countryside?

An amazing Lego farm creation was built by The Hornernersburg with an umlaut on the o (Ö). The creation is modeled after actual buildings in Germany from the 1600s. These buildings however are no longer in Germany since they were moved to the US and are now at the Frontier Culture Museum of Virginia. The farm house has amazing German architecture and its Lego replica is as cool as the real one.
The farm house was built using fachwerk which means half-timber construction. The first thing that builders did to the house is to use large pieces of lumber leaving spaces between these pieces of timber. The space is then filled with interwoven pieces of wood also known as wattle. The next thing that the builders did is to cover the wattle with mud (daub). After that, the mud is coated with white plaster. The original farm house has a roof made out of clay. The Lego farm house is not made out of these materials though since they are made out of the Danish bricks, but they sure do look the same as the original.
In the Lego farm house, you will find an entrance hall covered with pavement. To the right, Lego minifigs will see the living area and straight ahead is the cozy kitchen of the Lego farm house. If you go to the left upon entering the hall, you will see an enclosed staircase or what they call in Deutsch as a treppenhaus and behind the treppenhaus is another staircase that will lead you down to the cellar.
