Hallo! I just arrived in Germany. I’m still learning and figuring out on when to open and close the windows. Pardon me because I came from a tropical country. I have learned about stoßlüften and ankippen and also tried both modes. Right now the temp is around ~20 at afternoon and -12 at night. Should I do stoßlüften for 10 minutes a few times a day, or just do ankippen on longer periods?

Also is it okay to do ankippen while keeping the curtains closed? Danke schön!

You can keep the windows on Kipp if you like the constant small breeze, it doesn't do much more than that. But you still want to do stoßlüften once in a while. You could get a measure thingy for air humidity (cost about 10 eur online or In a household store) and see how different types of opening windows affect humidity

And yeah, you can definitely keep the curtains closed. Just be careful the wind doesn't possibly take them outside, I've had that before.

I measure humidity and when it's above 60% I do stoßlüften
