Gravel wall, impossible to drill appropriately

I am trying to drills some holes into the walls of my apartment, but I am constantly encounting the issue that the walls are too soft and when trying to drill any hole this becomes a monstruisty and some gravel starts falling out of it. It doesn't matter if I try to have a lot of control when drilling the hole to not do any aggressive movement, it is mostly always like that in this building. The building is quite old (Munich pre WWII, although this part was rebuilt post WWII, so probably that is part of the issue). It also feels that whenever I try to do anything and get to drill some holes, whatever I hang won't have much support resistance. Any tips? submitted by /u/Pablo_Rod [link] [comments]
