Schreber Garten
Since there is so little space to have a large back yard, many urbanites rent/buy a small parcel of land on the city limits to pursue their dream of "living off the land". Right behind my mom's house is such an area, and there are wonderful things to spot. Here is a typical "Schrebergarten".

Wow! So, this is roughly equivalent to a cottage at the lake?
Hey, just had a thought. Since you are in Germany you should go around and take pictures of the pixelated houses on Google street view and post them on the 'net ;)
