Treating High Humidity in basement

Hello all,

We have moved into a new house and my system is in a basement with floor heat. I have high humidity in this room, sometimes 68%. What is a good dehumidifier system to use for when I am not in the room? I have ventilated the room for up to six hours which lowered the levels to 59%, what else should I do? Should I turn the floor heat off and turn the room into an iceberg and vent the windows in the evening before I use the room? Thanks.
PS. I am located in Germany

Dehumidifier is very commonly used in Asia, almost every family has more than one in Taiwan. Not popular in US and difficult to get, price is also very high. In Taiwan, you can pick one up for less than US$100.

This has to be the most ridicules statement I have ever heard, finding a Dehumidifier in the USA is HARD? Have you never heard of HD,Lowes,Ace and numorous Hardware chains. I can guess that a neighborhood Cosco/Walmart would even carry one. Geezz pal this is the USA the largest supermarket for goods in the world.
