Sorry but if the house is properly heated - there are no Germans living there.
If you have old people as neighbours above and below you'll sit at 23°C without ever turning the radiator on in the deepest winter.
Old people are more likely to have arthritis or joint pain.
Also more likely to spend more time at home.
Also likely to have more money.
cries in neighbors having their gas sealed off
I feel offended that you seem to be right, because I'm a German and I rarely heat at all.
Yeah I was going to ask, what is proper indoor temperature for Germany anyway, like 18°C?
There is no official proper indoor temperature, but the courts settled at > 20 °C in the day and > 18 °C in the night as "normal". If it's not possible to achieve this temperature, the tenant has the right to withhold part of the rent as long as the heating is not fixed. But tenants are allowed to have their appartment as cold as they like as long as they don't grow mold.
No... the minimum requred temperature for everyone I know complaining about those "the evil government wants to ban heating!"-fairy tales wide spread in Germany is 23°-25°C at least or they will instantly start freezing to their deaths somehow.
Gotta wear that tshirt
You need to put on the heater in many homes because otherwise you will get mold. It depends on the house, of course. Doesn't matter how much you cross ventilate. :(
