When Germans start feeling power, the world buys more weapons and ammunition.

Who needs power when you can kipp your Fenster?

Have these in France too. I'd imagine most of Europe does at this point!

We have these in Sweden as well. But it's not the same as in the picture. Handle to the right opens only the top edge. Fully up is the entire window.

Seems like a strange decision by the manufacturer who did it second. Or maybe it was a way to not pay for a patent

I love this meme so much I sent it to everybody, especially the people that witnessed me fall on my face when trying to open one of these doors as I ripped it off its hinge* (yeah just the one load-bearing hinge for the whole door)

We have these for doors and windows on our house, And we cannot find a company to repair them. They have so many moving parts in them that they gradually break down and eventually completely fall apart.

The locking mechanism on one of the doors is a knob that pulls on some wires inside the door to open the various latches so you can choose which opening mode you're using. If you don't use it for a while it can get stuck and snap, making the door unable to open unless you completely disassemble it.

One of the doors, The tilt and turn hinge at the top got loose And eventually when opening the door completely snapped off and I fell inside onto the door.

The only one that currently works isn't long for this world. Since The hinge at the top is also loose on this one and so is the handle even though all of the screws are as tight as can be.

Granted the ones in our house are like 15 years old, but the ones on the main house were replaced 5 years ago because these things just have too many moving parts And when any of them break the whole thing has to be completely disassembled. The worst part is that to disassemble the door it has to be out of the frame, and the most common thing I've seen break on these is the thing that's supposed to turn the latch.
