Haseluenne can be found just before the Dutch border, Northwest from Osnabrueck. In Haseluenne many of these typical old farmhouses were destroyed. This was the reason for the city of Haseluenne to create this Museum and preserve a piece of their history. Over 700 kindharted residence in this city helped with the restoration. Two of the houses and smaller building here are heated with SanDomus base boards

Es stehen auf dem Gelände mehrere Häuser: Zwei davon und ein Zwischenbau werden mit Heizleisten von SanDomus beheizt.

The special feature here is that the heater regulates the rooms temperature in accordance to the level of relative humidity. If the moisture levels rise up above a certain level, the heater responds with a higher temperature. This is also done with the outside temperature taken into consideration, too. This is a necessary measure so that the wood is protected from moisture damage. The two houses that our systems are in have remained in top shape without any damage to the wood interiors.

Just a few years ago the houses were in such bad condition that the 30 by 30cm oak beams were falling from the ceiling to the floor. That sad condition prompted the restoration of the houses and the usage of base boards

A highly qualified architect took on this project and was awarded a federal grant from the German government to pay for the restorations.

The Univerities of Weimar, Hamburg, and the Fraunhofer Institute of Wood are all involved with this project, and in the next few years there will be a lot more progress made. We will be sure to keep you updated with all of the details.
