What is German Lüften? Explained.

What is German Lüften? I asked a German.

Lüften

verb

1. to bring into contact with the air

   • air; → lüften;

2. To replace stale or noxious air with fresh

Ever wonder why German people obsessively open the windows? I found it strange when I moved to Germany, but learned how necessary it is to ventilate rooms regularly by opening all the windows for at least 5 minutes. Fresh air is important to reduce mould, and moisture built up in rooms. It is also healthy to get fresh air in the room. I actually love Lüften now - Lüften 4 life! Watch the video below to find out what a German thinks about Lüften.
