- Ein Erker (mhd. erker[e], ärker, wohl ein Lehnwort aus nordfrz. arquière „Schützenstand, Schießscharte“ (eigentlich „Mauerausbuchtung“)) ist ein geschlossener, überdachter, über ein oder mehrere Geschosse reichender Vorbau an der Fassade eines Hauses. Im Gegensatz zur Auslucht steigt er nicht vom Boden auf, sondern wird von einer auskragenden Balkenlage oder Konsolen getragen.
Eigene Ergänzung dieser Wikipedia-Definition: Ein Erkerfenster ist ein in dieses Bauteil (Erker) eingefügtes Fenster. Wikipedia - by Steffen Walter
- Example sentence(s)
- Seit der Spätgotik und der Renaissance diente der Stubenerker im Wohnhaus zur Erweiterung der Wohnfläche, zur besseren Belichtung der Räume und als künstlerisches Gliederungsmotiv der Fassade. Wenn der Erker nur auf Höhe der Fenster, also ohne die Brüstung aus der Fassade vorspringt, so ist dies ein Fenstererker und nicht ein Erkerfenster, da alle Fenster von Erkern so genannt werden. Oft ist der Erker als Erkertürmchen mit einem Dach bis über die Traufkante hochgeführt. - Wikipedia by Steffen Walter
