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.
In the Sassanfahrt area of Hirschaid, numerous Tropfhaus can still be seen today. At one point, there were as many as 80 of these unique dwellings. While some of them have been modernized, others, like the one located at Neugartenstraße 1, have been preserved in their original state and offer a unique glimpse into the past. These houses are particularly beautiful to see and offer a unique insight into a specific aspect of historical architecture.
The local museum in Hirschaid offers visitors the opportunity to experience the living conditions inside a Tropfhaus. This immersive experience provides a unique insight into the daily life and living conditions of the people who once inhabited these small dwellings. It's a fascinating way to learn about a specific aspect of local history and culture.
