That looks like a bathroom from a building around 1880-1910 that I have seen several times in GrĆ¼nderzeit buildings in Germany

The Speisekammer 2/3 of the height under the window and entered from the kitchen is missing. But despite that it looks like the average Berlin Bathroom.

From my Dutch understanding of German Speisekammer is ā€˜food roomā€™, so whatā€™s that doing in a bathroom?

Or am I missing something?

Kitchen and Bathroom were usually next to each other. In the kitchen is a small door to a room with a small window. This room has about 2/3 of the floor height. Is was used as a kind of refrigerator (by opening the window). In the bathroom is only a channel above the Speisekammer with a small window, which is only to get the perfume out.

Terrible Estate Agent Photos

!badrealestate@feddit.uk

Create post

Terrible photos listed by estate agents/realtors that are so bad theyā€™re funny.

Posting guidelines.

Posts in this community must be of property (inside or out) listed for sale which contains a terrible element. ā€œTerribleā€ can refer to:

  • the photo itself (finger over the lens, too far away, people in the shot, bad Photoshop, etc.)

  • the property (weird layout, questionable plumbing, unsound structure, etc.)

  • the interior (carpeted bathrooms, awful taste interiors, weird mannequins/taxidermies/art, inflatable pools indoors, etc.)

  • the actual listing itself including unusual descriptions and unrealistic pricing. However, this isnā€™t a community to discuss the housing market in general. This is a comedic community - letā€™s keep it light.

  • Photos can be sourced from anywhere and be any age, but please check they havenā€™t already been posted.

  • Censor any names/contact details of private individuals.

  • Mark the post NSFW if it includes nudity or sensitive content

Rules.

This community follows the rules of the feddit.uk instance and the lemmy.org code of conduct. Iā€™ve summarised them here:

  • Be civil, remember the human.
  • No insulting or harassing other members. That includes name-calling.
  • Respect differences of opinion. Civil discussion/debate is fine, arguing is not. Criticise ideas, not people.
  • Keep unrequested/unstructured critique to a minimum.
  • Remember we have all chosen to be here voluntarily. Respect the spent time and effort people have spent creating posts in order to share something they find amusing with you.
  • Swearing in general is fine, swearing to insult another commenter isnā€™t.
  • No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia or any other type of bigotry.
  • No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies.
