A Treppenspeicher (literally "staircase store") is the German term for a granary or secondary farm building used for storage and is typical of the Lüneburg Heath area in northern Germany. The upper storey of the store was usually accessed via a flight of steps on the outside of the building, usually at one of the gable ends, thus giving the building its name.
