According to Guinness World Records, the world\u2019s narrowest street is located in Reutlingen,<\/strong> Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg, Germany. It is called Spreuerhofstra\u00dfe<\/strong>, and here are its measurements:<\/p>\n

Spreuerhofstra\u00dfe<\/strong> is located between two H\u00e4user<\/strong> (houses). It was reconstructed in 1727 after a fire destroyed the city in 1726. There is nothing to see in Spreuerhofstra\u00dfe except the W\u00e4nde<\/strong> (walls) of the two houses it lies between. The street signs at either end of Spreuerhofstra\u00dfe read, in both German and English:<\/p>\n
