Hi. I writing here to ask for some advice/ideas on how to get rid of the humidity in my Keller. I don’t have much knowledge in this area even though I try to do it all by myself. This wall in the front/right side is the front side of the house but I seem to be having the humidity issue on every wall no matter if I leave the windows open or door. In my Heizung room I finished the walls (last year)first thing as I also changed the Heizung so I wanted to be done. Now I noticed the walls there being humid too and since the issue seems to persist I thought why not ask online. I hope I can find someone to guide me onto what should I do best… I even consider adding two more windows. Thanks in advance!

IMHO this is not “humid” but wet. This is probably not from a problem with ventilation but maybe water coming in from the outside. Maybe a leaky pipe somewhere. Or there is a leak on the outside wall at the bottom, which would require (rather extensive) work where you have to dig up the street.
Even if you try to do everything by yourself, sometimes it’s best to get a professional taking a look.
Alternatively google “Kellerwände abdichten” or “von innen sanieren”. Most Baumarkt websites have tutorials, such as

Leaking pipe? Call a plumber for a diagnosis and a quote.
