A small Franconian farm labourers' home
The Faller farm labourer's cottage is a bit too small, although it bears a distant resemblance to the Häcker family home in Ergersheim, which is preserved as building 12 in the Franconian Open Air Museum in Bad Windsheim. However, a new homemade version is urgently needed.
Perhaps it would be possible to create a model that is 25 mm longer; these archive images show the original building and its proportions.
The building is a half-timbered structure with a stucco façade, built around 1706.

Please note that I am very grateful to the Bad Windsheim Museum for providing the images, without which it would have been almost impossible to start this project.
