In Brief
Paderborn authorities oppose a Tiny House settlement similar to Bielefeld's. In Dormagen, a planned six-unit Tiny House project may fail due to a lack of investors.
The city of Paderborn has expressed little enthusiasm for creating a Tiny House settlement like the one in Bielefeld. However, permits for two such houses have already been issued.
In Dormagen, the future of a planned Tiny House settlement with six units in Kaarst-Holzbüttgen is uncertain. The project, intended to provide additional housing to address the apartment shortage, may not materialize due to the absence of an investor. The city administration plans to develop proposals for further implementation in the coming weeks.
