Smallest House

The "smallest house" in Wernigerode can be found nestled among other half-timbered houses in Koch Street. It was built in the middle of the 18th century in the baroque style. The house's measurements are, from the ground to the gutter 4.20 metres, width 2.95 metres and it has a 1.70 metre high door.

It's only room is a living space of less than 10 m². The Postal worker Mr. Nettelmann and his wife with their many children lived in the building during the 1920s. You can get a good idea of how they used to live from the displays at the museum within the house itself.
