Join us at the New Housing Tiny House Festival — the largest tiny house festival in Europe, held in Rheinstetten, Germany, near the French border. In this video, we explore the growing interest in tiny living, interview inspiring visitors and exhibitors, and uncover the real challenges of living tiny in Germany. And of course, we’ll take you along for a look around.

From building regulations and land permits to the rise of tiny house communities, you’ll get a real look into the hopes, dreams, and frustrations of people who want to downsize, live sustainably, and find more freedom.

We speak with:

Ramona Jonait, senior project manager and organizer of the festival

Tiny house owners and community members who share their motivations, tips, and daily experiences

Visitors exploring whether tiny living is right for them

🌿 What you’ll learn:
Why finding land is the biggest challenge for tiny homes in Germany

The rules and legal hurdles around building and living tiny

How communities are forming to solve these problems together

The benefits and realities of downsizing your life

First-hand impressions from people living tiny (or dreaming about it)

Whether you’re already living tiny, planning your build, or just curious about minimalist, sustainable living, this video is packed with insights.
