What to remember
Spreuerhofstraße, in Reutlingen, Germany, is the narrowest street in the world: at its tightest point it is just 31 cm wide.
Its width ranges from 31 cm to 50 cm, and the lane runs for 380 cm (149.6 in). It was built in 1727, during the reconstruction that followed the massive citywide fire of 1726, which had destroyed the area.
Despite its size, it is a real street in the eyes of the authorities: the Land-Registry Office officially lists it as City Street Number 77.
