LEIPZIG. 309 Their other dimensions would not differ materially from those given in the following concrete examples of four-roomed tenements visited for which rents of from £11 10s. to £15 per annum were being paid. Tenement A (on second floor of house in Wigandstrasse, suburb of Kleinzschocher). This consisted of a vestibule having on one side the kitchen and two bedrooms, each with a window looking into a backyard, and on the other side a living room with two windows looking into the street. The rooms measured as follows :— Living room 14 feet by 11^ feet. Bedroom, 1 18 „ 9 „ » Bedroom, 2 11 „ 5 „ Kitchen 11 „ 7¿ „ Tenement B (on second floor of house in Reuterstrasse, suburb of Lindenau). This also consisted of a vestibule having on one side the kitchen and two bedrooms, each with a window looking into a backyard, and on the other side a living room with two windows looking into the street. The rooms measured as follows :— Living room 15 feet by 9J feet. Bedroom, 1 19 „ 7J „ Bedroom, 2 13 „ 5 ,, Kitchen 13 ,, 6J ,, Tenement C (on first floor of house in Gutsmuthstrasse, suburb of Lindenau). This consisted of a vestibule having on one side the kitchen and one of the bedrooms, each with a window looking into a backyard, and on the other side the living room and another bedroom, the former with two windows and the latter with one window looking into the street. The rooms measured as follows :— Living room 15| feet by 11J feet. Bedroom, 1 17 „ 7 „ Bedroom, 2 15^ „ 8J „ Kitchen 11J „ 7 ,, The water-closets are situated on the stair landings, as a rule in the proportion of one to each family, taking the house as a whole. The cellar space is divided into as many compartments as there are tenements, and one such compartment, capable of being secured by lock and key, is assigned to each tenant for the storage of fuel, potatoes, &c. In the back-yard is a washhouse for the use of the tenants in common, and the loft space directly beneath the roof is fitted with rails for the drying of laundry. In a three-roomed tenement, all the rooms are, as a rule, in the front of the house, the central room occupying the space over the entrance door of the building. The most general range of rents for working-class tenements of three rooms is from 185 to 215 marks per annum, or 3a. 6d. to 4a. 2d. per week. The following table shows the predominant range of weekly rents for working-class dwellings of three and four rooms respectively :— Predominant Rents of Working-class Dwellings. Number of Rooms per Tenement. Predominant Weekly Rent. Three rooms Four rooms 3s. 6f?. to 4s. 2d. 4s. 5d. „ 5s. 9d. The rent index number for Leipzig, compared with 100 in Berlin, is 51.
