Old and new Tollhouse

"Altes Mauthaus" and "Neues Mauthaus"

The Inn bridge offered an excellent opportunity to collect  customs duty and  taxes on merchandise, and so the old tollhouse whose 16 th century Renaissance archways are particularly remarkable, was erected directly next to the Heiliggeist-Spital.

Later on,  the official toll post was moved to the building opposite (the corner of the Shustergasse / Schmidtzeile). Prominent on the new tollhouse is the polygonal arch with its angel sculpture (W.Leb 1497) which signifies the membership of the town of Wasserbug to the rich Dukes of Bavaria-Landshut.
