Evidence of our past way of life can be found not only in pompous mansions, but also in small ones. A very inconspicuous and somewhat forgotten finding is the pigsty attached to the gable wall of Hauptstrasse 19 on the forecourt of the house. The pigsty is already shown on Meyer's village plan from 1678, unlike the farmhouses on the outskirts of the settlement, which he apparently considered unimportant for his village map.
The last farmer on the main road ran his farm here until the 1960s. Atypical for Muttenz is the entrance on the gable end.
