Thanks, Peter, that helped so far!

Another question would be, how would then the serialize function look like if one has another class as a member of a class. So, in this case, how would the serialize function look like if one has a class House and two of its member are of the type Room?
A serializing of nested objects so to speak.

The pack()/unpack() functions make use of the fact that many of the deal.II classes have save()/load() functions (sometimes combined into a serialize() function) that recursively save/load/serialize the member variables of these classes. Here is an example:
https://github.com/dealii/dealii/blob/master/include/deal.II/grid/tria.h#L4030-L4062

In these functions, operator& is used to serialize variables into/out of the given stream. If these variables are themselves classes, then that just calls these classes' respective save/load/serialize functions.

Best
