    In Helmarshausen there are also some half-timbered houses to see.

      People and animals lived together under one roof in the houses.

      The houses were also used for crafts such as blacksmiths, tailors, shoemakers, wagon builders and linen weavers.

      The beams and archways are decorated and have sayings on them.

      The names of the builders and the years of construction are also mentioned.

      There are also smaller houses, the size and furnishings of which depended on the owners' financial circumstances.

      Helmarshausen was in the border area between Saxony and Franconia in the Diemel valley.

      This is why this architectural style was called "Diemel - Saxon half-timbering".
