In Brief
Germany sees growing interest in tiny houses. Three examples: renting an 18 sqm Hygge, a custom 31 sqm home on wheels for €128,000, and moving from 200 to 40 sqm.
Interest in tiny houses is growing in Germany, as shown by three recent stories.
In Gotendorf near Arberg, the Hygge mini-house (18 sqm) has been available for rent since July 2026. Owners Anja and Daniel Koglin offer a kitchen, bed and bathroom near the forest.
A couple from Bühl-Eisental (Rastatt district) moved into a 31 sqm house on wheels in May 2023. The structure and equipment cost €128,000, and the plot rent is €500 per month. Finding a suitable plot and obtaining a building permit were the main challenges.
A couple from Bergkamen downsized from 200 to 40 sqm. The move required giving up most belongings and turned out more expensive than planned. The house is technically equipped, but the couple notes that the cost of such housing is higher than expected.
