Eaves in Germany

In Germany, eaves (called "Dachüberstand" or "Vordach" in German) are crucial for both aesthetic and functional purposes, similar to other regions. They are typically designed to:

  1. Protect from Rain: Redirecting rainwater away from the walls to prevent damage and reduce erosion.
  2. Energy Efficiency: Eaves help with thermal regulation by shading the walls, which can reduce energy consumption.
  3. Visual Appeal: They contribute to the architectural style, whether traditional or modern.
