years specializing in the restoration of
traditional German half-timbered houses and was employed by the prestigious
firm of Holz-und Lehmbau Gmbh.
Many of the houses Uwe has
worked on have been dated to the 1500s and 1600s. Besides timber
framing, his work in Germany included the restoration of doors, windows,
and floors, and working with traditional german clay-plaster and natural
insulation.
Since coming to the North-East he has restored many barns and
colonial era homes. His specialty is the structural repair, rigging,
straightening, and moving of timber-frame structures. In Germany and the
United States, pride in craftsmanship and enthusiasm for historic
buildings has been the foundation of his work.
