Yup - we have those in Denmark too ( and I have on multiple occations met people online who thought people live in those houses too )
Typically the houses started out as toolsheds and the lots as gardens for apartment foks, but over time they have become more like gardens or summer homes - and while I'm not sure about the German counterparts many Danish ones are now build as large as small houses..
Example from Copenhagen: everything left for the large roads are gardens and not homes..

A friend couple of ours have one of them and we have been out there a couple times for their kid's birthday and weekend BBQs etc..
