Hola, iam Joyce Desantiago, I bid you good day, sir/ma’am.

Whoa, talk about a combo! Toilets, Germany and shelves - what do they have in common? Well, if you’re in Germany, you’ll find that toilets come with shelves. Yep, it’s true! In fact, it’s so common that it’s become the norm. You won’t find many bathrooms without them. So why is this the case? Let’s take a look and find out!

Why Do Toilets In Germany Have A Shelf? [Solved]

Well, in Germany, energy costs are way higher than in the US - water included. So, they came up with shelf toilets to save on water usage compared to what we have here. Makes sense, right?

  1. Toilets: A toilet is a plumbing fixture used for the disposal of human waste. It typically consists of a bowl, a seat, and a flushing mechanism.

  2. Germany: Germany is a country in Central Europe with an area of 357,386 square kilometers and population of over 83 million people. It is bordered by nine other countries and has the largest economy in Europe.

  3. Shelf: A shelf is an object used to store items on or in it, usually made from wood or metal and mounted on walls or furniture for easy access to stored items.

In Germany, you can find toilets with shelves built right in! It’s so convenient - no more having to balance your stuff on the edge of the sink. Plus, it’s a real space-saver. Ain’t that cool?
