Tiny house in Northern Germany
As a holiday home on the coast, as a second home or as a cheap entry into home ownership, a tiny house is popular in the north. What is decisive is the pitch and building law: not every plot is approved for permanent living, and coastal and flood protection can restrict buildability. Therefore clarify permission and servicing early.
