My girlfriend has recently moved to me, we have finally been fully furnished the apartment (because my mom is visiting and my daughter because my sister wants to marry on Friday). The apartment is clean and stylish and all the beds are occupied.
It is Thursday evening, 10PM - and we want to finally go to bed (child is asleep, I'm up at 4 and tomorrow will be a stressful day).
And then my girlfriend noticed 2 long cracks in the living room ceiling:
At this place the ceiling is lowered at least 1 inch!
The emergency janitor service has noted: It is "only" of the plaster, but it must be fixed urgently by a craftsman!
The mother should also be better somewhere else to sleep.
The craftsmen came the next morning at 9 and told us "So on 6x4ft the plaster came down and must be removed." Suddenly a big bang and the living room looks like:
Already at the first little touch a huge piece of plaster came down, much bigger than we thought.
And it was also to see that even more will follow!
Conclusion:
The apartment looks like shit, it was a damn stressful morning before the wedding, the just finished living room does no longer exist, it's dirt everywhere and the whole apartment is filled with furniture and their content.
The coming weeks the craftsmen will come and go and it will result even more stress and dirt!
That sounds definitely like: less rent for the flat and compensation for damaged laminate, the filthy couch and so on!

it was just a question of time till it would come down by itself.
I'm glad that we noticed the crack!
The plaster didn't stick at the beton anymore.
I have no clue for the reason. And the craftman also had no idea...
stupid german's
btw. can't really see what kinda material is under the plaster... is that a concrete construction floor, or MDF?
and looking at the pics the plaster is pretty thick for a ceiling-plaster!
goodluck Carsten with getting it all done again! Hope the pictures of the wedding came out better
That's a concrete beton ceiling - and there is such a red primer on it. But however it came of - and now it's gone...
It is a gypsum plaster - so it has to be that thick.
I have to work now 12h - and i am very curious how it looks when i come back home!
I hope also!
Craftmen were yesterday in our apartement. Primer + plaster is now new - but still raw. It has to dry now for some days, then next layer, sanding, filling, painting, whatever. Whole flat smells ugly from the primer and the gypsum. We have ONE place to sit (my computer-desk), you cannot find anything, taht really sucks.
And the craftmen said that it could need 3-4 weeks till everything is finished.
It looks like the walls have also be repainted and definitely they have to clean the floor and the furniture (it was impossible to remove them - no spare place anymore..).
My GF hopes that the plaster-mud will destroy my big fat rear projection TV (she hates it, it is to fat) - that we can buy a flat screen from the comparisation..
Hope all works out.
From studying the photos of the living room and the stairwell. It looks to be old renovated military housing . The buildings themselves are built tough.

Remember. The Military went to German contractor's and said build me X amount of buildings that can hold Y amount of families. So the German guys built housing the way they knew how and now we all live in German appartment buildings.
Carsten, Sorry bout your luck man. Hope it all works out with the insurance.
