Torhaus an der Erfurter Straße

The single-story gatehouse features a central gable, two unfluted columns framing the entrance niche, and a hipped roof design at Erfurter Street.

Between 1822 and 1824, architect Clemens Wenzeslaus Coudray designed this building as a toll collection point connecting the outer and inner Erfurt gates.

The front facade displays both the grand ducal coat of arms and Weimar city emblem, with Corinthian helmet and sword decorations above the semicircular window.

Following restoration by private investors in 2009, the structure gained protected status and stands near the central bus station turning loop.

From 1887, the gatehouse functioned as a railway station reception building for Weimar Erfurt Gate before later becoming a police station and travel agency.
