Hello everyone,
our house construction will start soon, and now we need to choose a facing brick. We have already looked at several options, but none have really convinced us so far.
I have attached a picture to this post of a facing brick that we really like, but so far we haven’t been able to find out what type of brick it might be.
Do you have any ideas which brick and manufacturer it could be?
I would appreciate any feedback.

Just ask the general contractor, as this example picture is likely from one of their houses (Tönjes and Meichsner, which has already been discussed here in the forum).

@kati1337: Didn’t you build with them and might be familiar with the facing bricks?

Contact the brick specialist (.de). If you send them the picture, they can at least identify one brick that is very similar. Otherwise, there are also (small) manufacturers where you can virtually customize the brick. Unfortunately, these tend to be a bit more expensive...

Yes, we built with T&M; they often use facing bricks from Röben, but also others.
I don’t know the exact brick, but I can check my old photos from their showroom.

For us, we should send photos of brick slips (either from the internet or our own) that we like. Then the building materials supplier looked at them and gave us about 10 addresses nearby where similar products are available. These were places where he had previously delivered similar brick slips himself.

In the end, we chose a brick slip that we had seen on a colleague’s house. He simply ordered it for us.

I would suggest walking through the new development areas nearby and knocking on doors to ask, especially if you feel completely lost otherwise.

As mentioned above, make sure to also inquire about the installation method. That is at least as important as the brick slip itself.

What kind of jokes is your autocorrect playing on us here?
