The Narrowest House in Kornelimünster – A Narrow Slice of History

Right in the middle of Benediktusplatz, one house immediately catches the eye because it seems almost too narrow for the alley. At just 2.42 meters wide, it is the narrowest house in Kornelimünster, nestled tightly between its larger neighbors. The façade tells the story of a time when every available space was utilized, yet there was still enough room to create a home. Standing in front of it, you can feel the special atmosphere of the old town center, where narrow streets and historic buildings form a harmonious pattern. The small house serves as a reminder of how resourcefully earlier generations made the most of the opportunities available to them.
