This house is literally the smallest house in Wernigerode, at 9.6 odd feet wide, and slightly longer. Built in 1792, it has two full floors and little attic. The biggest room is 10 square meters, about the size of a large bedroom. It was occupied until 1976, at one point by a family of eleven.

Today, it's a museum with various odds and ends, including a mannequin of old Oma on the outdoor privy, a display of dishes, dolls, and kitchen tools. Interesting little place.Read more
TravelerAlmost like houses on Elfreth Alley. But I think at 10m2 it's more like a large walk-in closet or a small bedroom (think roughly 10.4x10.4 ft). And it reminds me of "Grandpa's house" I saw during my Camino
