If you want to reduce the energy consumption of your property, you have to invest a lot of money.
Insulation, windows, heating: Dyrk Scherff from our business editorial team has written a guide on what pays off the most.
Because: KfW will now support everyone who submitted an application for energy-efficient renovation of their property just a few days ago.
The Minister of Finance is providing another five billion euros for this.
Future renovations should also be encouraged.
The focus should then be on older buildings.
This is where it gets really interesting.
After all, the question for many homeowners is: Is it even worth doing an energy-efficient refurbishment for an old house?
Because it can quickly devour tens of thousands of euros.
And if so, what do you renovate first: the heating, the windows, the facade, the roof?
There are many ways to waste a lot of money on too little savings in energy consumption.
Scherff states: Refurbishments are worthwhile for houses from the 1950s and 1960s - and also justifies this.

Let's stay with houses for a moment.
Christian Völkers is the real estate agent of the super rich.
Dennis Kremer spoke to him about the favorite places of millionaires, digital visits and applicable clichés.

They buy, among other things, because living conditions have changed fundamentally since Corona - because a new lifestyle is required."
In general, one can say that the level of education decreases the further one moves from northern to southern Europe.
This has to do with the fact that our profession is hardly regulated.
Actually, I am often against regulation, but in this case I find:
That needs to change.
Anything else damages the reputation of our industry.”
Change of topic, unfortunately it still doesn't work without Corona:
The disputes between supporters of Corona policy and opponents of vaccination are becoming more heated from week to week.
In Freiburg, 6,000 opponents of vaccination recently demonstrated that their march route should first lead past the university hospital, one of the clinics in Germany whose doctors and nurses have been fighting for the lives of corona patients every day since the beginning of the pandemic due to the high number of patients.
Many employees at the clinic were outraged.
The example shows how great the rejection of the pandemic policy and the vaccination campaign is now.
There are many reasons for the burgeoning of protest and resistance, as Rüdiger Soldt comments: the length of the pandemic, overly optimistic promises by politicians, increasing economic and psychological stress on people.
But especially in the discussion about vaccination and the introduction of a general obligation to vaccinate, a widespread phenomenon is evident:
