Rodaborn, Highway rest area in Triptis, Germany
The Rodaborn rest area stands along the A9 autobahn near Triptis, offering travelers a place to stop and refresh during their journey.
Built in 1928 as a forest recreation home near the Roda spring, Rodaborn opened as Germany's first highway rest area on December 20, 1936.
The establishment gained recognition through Christina Wagner, who sold traditional bratwurst to travelers despite legal restrictions regarding food service operations.
The rest area facility includes parking spaces for vehicles, although direct access from the highway has been restricted due to safety regulations.
The property, including the historic building and 4,500 square meters of land, was listed for sale at 420,000 euros in 2023.
