I understand the reasoning is that wood will rot if left in contact with the
ground, so one needs at least a small stone foundation to make a half timbered
building that will last. I suppose if one then had the time and available stone,
making the first floor stone would give you an even longer lasting house.

I add some pictures from 2004, of "full timbered"* houses. They do have a
fundament, thourg small.
