@Bermicourt: Niedersachsen = "Lower Saxony";『niedersächsisches』would be "Low Saxon" - see entry below
I'm a native speaker of both German and Low Saxon. Niedersachsen in this case does not refer to the territory Niedersachsen, but is the plural of Niedersachse, a person of the Low Saxon people. So technically it's Low Saxons' house, but that kinda sounds odd to me. --::Slomox:: >< 12:34, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

| Bermicourt, best bet is to ask for help on this from the architecture project. It may be a German style house (there is also a similar structure in Swaben), but the archies will know what to make of this. Auntieruth55 (talk) 01:33, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply] |
