Kleinstes Haus, Timber-framed house in Wernigerode, Germany
Built in 1792, this residential structure measures only 2.95 meters wide and 4.2 meters high, fitting between two neighboring buildings without gable walls.
Throughout its history, the house accommodated craftsmen families, including pipe drillers, weavers, and shoemakers, with up to eleven people living in this confined space.
The building represents medieval German working-class housing, demonstrating how families adapted to limited living spaces near the former city wall.
The house contains three levels: a ground floor with kitchen, a first floor with a 9-square-meter living room, and an upper floor with sleeping quarters.
In 1904, postal worker Nettelmann installed electricity and running water, making this tiny house the first residence in Kochstrasse with modern amenities.
