This building originally dates to 1502 (completion). It served as one of the main granaries of the town. It name Mauthalle (= customs hall) dates to the 19th century when the building served as the customs headquarters of Nuremberg (Maut = customs duties). The building is 84 m long, 20 m wide and 29 m tall.
During an allied bombing raid in the night of March 8th/9th 1943 the roof structure burned out, the building was covered with a provisional roof afterwards. During another allied bombing raid on Oct. r3 1944 the walls received just slight shrapnel damage, but finally during the bombing raid on January 2nd 1945 the building was hit heavily, the eastern gable and the southern walls collapsed, the building burned out completely.
Reconstruction after WWII lasted from 1951 to 1953 in slightly simplified form.
Today it serves as an office building with shops in the ground floor, the basement houses the restaurant Mautkeller which features a microbrewery.
