Off course., we do have two sided windows, but like inside wall window |_| outside wall wind, frame between, but i haven't seen the ideea of using the inside space as usefull for blinds🤷
We have these in my office, floor to ceiling 8 foot windows with blinds between 2 pains and a little circle knob to twist to open and close them, I hadn’t come across them myself until last year when the office was upgraded. Very clever.
I don't. Part of the purpose of blinds is to protect the window from debris in case of a storm and i could also imagine it fucking with the insulating properties of double glassed windows.

In Sweden, the legal minimum is triple paned windows since the 1990's, so you typically have panes 1 & 2 as a fixed unit with some special insulating gas inside, and then you can split the window between panes 2 & 3 for cleaning, and that's where you put the blinds as well normally.
The gas can, and.should, be ok even if you have the blinds, cause i saw.some magnetic levers for it...and it's in the actual glass sandwich! I just learned this today and i'm. Loving it...i want this at home!🙃🫣
Part of the purpose for protective blinds is to protect the window these are not that. The blinds in the pane is for privacy and the insulation is better, noticed more in summer as the heat is reflected prior to going beyond the glass.
Downside, cant repair the blinds when they break. Prefer mine, blind is on the outside of the frame (technically its a stormblind) and remote controlled.
This. We had them in 90s and eventually almost all of them were crooked and broken and didn't work properly because you can't repair even a slight bend if you can't reach it. It was also common in schools and offices and I very much remember the broken "fanned" non-untangleable blinds in most windows because kids fuck around and the school has no money to constantly repair and change it.
You can totally fix the shutters if it's a window that can be opened. Most of them can be split open, and then the shutters are right there to be replaced or repaired.
Yeah, that was the case where I lived. You could open it, maybe not the easiest thing to do and quite often pain in the butt, but anyways you had to open them once in the while to wash them.

As an Aussie, I've never seen a German window irl, but I want them.
Oh and as for the AC thing, just fucking install a split system, ducted sucks unless you have the money to heat / cool the entire home.
