12 mins confidence: 
limestone string course Explanation: It's not clear from your text whether the Kalksteinsims is part of the house or part of a garden wall. a string course is a continuous narrow horizontal course or moulding which projects slightly from the surface of a wall http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Course This chimney, which steps back twice as it rises to its pinnacle above the highest roofline, is the only part of the house to which the limestone string course, which runs all around the house, defers. Otherwise, the string course underlies the principal second floor windows and serves as the coping for the front bay and for the main entrance vestibule, which is placed diagonally across a corner niche behind the chimney. http://www.ridgehistoricalsociety.org/wolff/02_11wolff.html Fachwörterbuch Architektur und Bauwesen |
