The German noun 'Fenster' translates to 'window' in English. It refers to an opening in a wall or roof of a building that allows light and air to enter and provides a view to the outside.
In Germany, windows are an essential part of every building, serving both functional and aesthetic purposes. They come in various sizes, shapes, and materials, such as wood, metal, or plastic. Windows can be opened or closed using different mechanisms, including hinges or sliding panels.
Windows play a crucial role in regulating temperature and ventilation within a building. They also contribute to the overall energy efficiency of a structure by preventing heat loss or gain. Additionally, windows often feature glass panes that provide insulation and soundproofing.
