Wo der Herr nicht das Haus baut, so arbeiten umsonst, die daran bauen.

Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain that build it.

    That s a very profound idea! But is it need to write it on a house? If it may attract some negative energy...-;)))

      Hi, Marbess! Thanks for the comment.  :-) 
      Inscriptions in oak-wooden beams of half-timbered houses are a medieval German tradition!
      By the inscription texts, which often come from the Holy Bible, the inhabitants wanted to show their devoutness and religiousness. 
      The house on the photo was built in the 18-th century. Because the house already survived a long time, the negative energy cannot be very big. :o))
