The customs house, built around 1500, originates from the rule of the Essen Damenstift over the Breisiger Land. The ruler was granted the right to collect tolls by the emperor as a sovereign right. For this reason, she had the customs house built beside the two customs stations at the "Kölner Tor" and the "Koblenzer Tor." This half-timbered house, which is a listed building, can tell much about the history of the place and the Rhine.
