We call this type of construction 'Wattle and daub'. It is a composite building method used for making walls and buildings, in which a woven lattice of wooden strips called wattle is daubed with a sticky material usually made of some combination of wet soil, clay, sand, animal dung and straw.
Many old buildings (now updated) have been created using this method, and have a preserved panel inside the building covered in glass that shows the original construction.

genau die hatte ich im Sinn, beim Gang durch den Ort fand ich viele gut restaurierte Fachwerbauten.

for your comprehensive description. I think, I have heard about this method of the Middle Ages years ago (on TV) but never saw this in real bevor.
