It matters to us that you know what you're looking at. So here, briefly and plainly, is how our pictures came about.
Real photographs, taken by us and by photographers we commissioned. We adjusted brightness and colour so the pictures look the way the rooms really do.
With one picture we went further: on the exterior shot of Anne + Liese Haus there were two crates of beer on the terrace and two cars on the neighbouring plot, and along the left-hand edge of the picture you could see the remains of a building site. We removed those three things with an AI tool and then upscaled the picture so it stays sharp on large screens. We changed nothing about the house itself, the rooms or the furnishings.
The pictures of Heideblüte and Heidelbeere, and every shot of the outside, the garden, the terrace and the sauna, are real photographs. They were taken on 2 and 3 October 2026, once the houses were fully furnished. All we adjusted was brightness and colour.
There is one exception: Glockenheide was occupied on the day of the shoot. Its interior pictures are therefore our own phone photos for the time being – honest, but not as handsome as the rest. We'll swap them out as soon as we have been able to photograph it properly.
The visualisations from our building plans that were shown here until October 2026 have been removed. They are no longer needed now that there are real photographs.
An AI assistant helped us write the text on this site. We read and checked every sentence ourselves, and we take responsibility for them all.

If a picture doesn't match what you find when you get here, please tell us. We'll change it straight away. An email to verwaltung@pehlshaus.de is all it takes.
This is a translation for your convenience. In case of doubt, the German version is the binding one.
