Germans lived in mudhuts until the Modern Era, lol.

From ChatGPT:

In Germany, the transition from peasant houses of wattle and daub (wattle and daub) and thatched roofs—those mud huts typical of the Middle Ages—to more durable dwellings of wood, brick, and stone did not occur all at once, but in regional stages between the 16th and 19th centuries.

Here is the most accurate historical overview:

Middle Ages (9th–15th centuries)

The overwhelming majority of peasants (90% of the population) lived in houses exactly like the ones in the image: mud walls, wooden frames, and thatched roofs.

These buildings were common even in wealthy regions of the Holy Roman Empire.

Early Modern Period (16th–18th centuries)

Starting in the 16th century, in the more prosperous regions (such as Saxony, Bavaria, and the Rhineland), peasant houses began to incorporate half-timbered structures, still made of wood and clay, but much more solid and aesthetically elaborate.

However, in poor and forested rural areas, especially in the north and east (Brandenburg, Pomerania, Silesia), mud huts remained common until the 18th century.

Industrialization (19th century)

It was only in the 19th century, with the advancement of industrialization, urbanization, and sanitary laws, that most rural Germans definitively abandoned mud and straw houses.

Construction with fired bricks and tile or slate roofs became standard around 1850–1880, depending on the region.

Straightforward Summary:

Most Germans stopped living in mud huts between 1700 and 1850, with the process being completed in the 19th century
