Once a day? Multiple times a day!
Especially “Stoßlüften” (opening a window for a short period) or “Querlüften” (opening windows in opposite rooms to create a draft).
First thing in the morning we lüft, after cooking, we lüft, before going to bed…
It’s especially important in newer or well renovated houses/apartments, to get rid of excess humidity in order to prevent mold. Really new apartments are so well insulated that they have literal holes in the wall (Zwangsbelüftung) in order have some airflow.
Edit: I was so enthusiastic to write a comment about lüften, that I didn’t read your link which actually covers what I said.

- okr 4y agoDoes it not depend on the windows, though? My contract in a new place does not require me to open windows several times a day anymore. The windows seem to have a built in mechanism, that allows for air exchange. I can even feel a cool breeze sometimes, so something is definitly going on, though very subtle.
- skybrian 4y agoInteresting. What does this mechanism look like?
- lowmagnet 4y agoSome windows have built in trickle vents which are just a row of comb-style openings that can be adjusted from closed to half-open.
- californical 4y agoAt least in my apartment, it’s crooked wooden paneling that has been poorly nailed together. A very simple mechanism for always-on air exchange
- brmgb 4y agoI see your landlord is worried about your health too. Mine is very thoughtful. In addition to poorly jointed windows so the air stay fresh, they are single panned so it doesn’t get too hot at night and we can get optimal sleep.
- mckirk 4y agoWe lüft the house in the morning, we lüft the house at night. We lüft the house in the afternoon, it makes us feel alright. We lüft the house in times of peace, and we lüft in times of war. We lüft the house before we lüft the house, and then we lüft some more!
- tpoacher 4y agoThis would work even better with some Iambic Decapentasyllabic verse. May I? We lüft the house as we wake up, we lüft the house at night. We lüft it in the afternoon, it makes us feel alright. We lüft the house in times of peace, we lüft in times of war. We lüft it once, we lüft it twice, and then we lüft some more!
- h2odragon 4y agoThe first pass was a reference to the song "Smoke Two Joints", FYI. The rhythm of that line always seemed off to me; i like yours better.
