Rüninger Zollhaus, Timber-framed customs house in Brunswick, Germany
The Rüninger Zollhaus is a timber-framed house in Brunswick featuring characteristic wooden beams and carefully jointed connections. The structure displays typical features of regional construction with its system of exposed wooden elements and infill panels.
The house was built during the medieval period as a customs station to monitor trade entering the city. Over time its function changed, but it remained an important record of Brunswick's trading history.
The building reflects craftsmanship traditions passed down through generations in this region. The exposed wooden beams and construction methods show how local builders developed their own approach to timber-framed construction over time.
The building is located in the heart of the city and is easily accessible on foot. Visitors should note that it is a historical monument that can be viewed from the outside.
The customs house preserves its original wooden frame construction from an era when such buildings were common along trade routes. Today it stands as one of the few remaining examples from that period in the region.
