Historically, Tropfhaus houses were small, with no more than 30 m² of living space. These houses were primarily occupied by day laborers, small craftsmen, and home workers. Despite the limited space, these workers often lived in these houses with their large families. The land on which a Tropfhaus was built was too small for self-sufficient agriculture.
