Fachwerk is a German term that often describes timber-framed buildings in general, but refers in particular to a certain kind of wall framing with small square panels. In the Anglo Saxon language area the Fachwerk is a German styled house similar but not equal to the British Tudorbethan architecture. see: http://www.flickr.com/photos/14568674@N08/2267207262/in/set-72157603872066804/ some very nice examples
