Living on 30 m² in a house whose property line ends where the rainwater dripping from the roof hits - this was what was offered around 1800 in the Sassanfahrt manor to people who wanted to settle there without owning their own property. The museum, which is probably one of the smallest open-air museums in the world, illustrates in a preserved "drip house" from 1790 what life was like for day labourer families under these conditions.
