    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.

    The candle arch houses were built in the reinforcing arches of the Butzbach city wall in the 15th century, initially as sheds or workshops and later also used as apartments. Today the buildings, which are less than 2 meters deep, can be rented as holiday apartments.
    Here you can see that the tiny house is not a new invention, but already existed in the late Middle Ages.
