As space within the 14th-century city wall grew narrower, small sheds and workshops began to be built in the arches of the city wall. Later, these not even 2 meter deep structures were even used for residential purposes.
Some of these so-called Schwibbogen houses still exist in Mauerstrasse.

Really strange to look at and hard to imagine that these houses could be used as apartments. Historic tiny houses, so to speak.
