Places

In Pomerania there are half-timbered houses (e.g. House 3). Sometimes they are called "mur pruski" [Prussian wall], but the name is improper. A half-timbered house has a timber framework where empty spaces are filled with another material, e.g. brick, and also ordinary dried clay brick. Sometimes there are no bricks but uprights (strickles or wattle and daub) wrapped in straw twine, well-soaked in clay. When arranged tightly, they create a wall, which corresponds to the definition of "mur pruski" the best.
