💨 Abstract

In Frankfurt, Germany, the "Wasserhäuschen" or little water houses, dating back to the 19th century, serve as social meeting points, bringing together diverse groups, from bankers to punks. Originally offering mineral water, they now sell food, drinks, and newspapers. Despite a decrease in numbers due to new construction, they remain a democratic and inclusive space where people from different backgrounds come together without judgement.
