 On the outside of the rows of uprights, underneath the eaves, low side rooms or bays known as "Kübbungen" were often built with non load-bearing external walls.These "Kübbungen" acted as stables or stalls for the cattle and gave this type of house its alternative name of "Kübbungshaus".A classic feature of the "Zweiständerhaus" is that the loft is not supported by the outside walls but only by the two rows of uprights that form part of the hall sides or walls.
