Still see these throughout western Europe. Mostly next to railroads outside cities. Great use of space.

When you spend the week in a tiny high-rise apt., often with no elevator, it was kind of nice to get out to the country for the weekend. I did a lot with my friends in E. Germany. But I can't imagine doing that for more than a weekend.
