The inn in July 2012

The Gasthof zur Post is an inn in Gunzenhausen in the Middle Franconian district of Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen . The building is registered under the monument number D-5-77-136-12 as a monument in the Bavarian monument list. The inn is at Bahnhofstrasse 6, not far from the Spitalkirche and north of Gunzenhausen's old town.

In the place of today's inn there was a post office of the Imperial Post Office operated by the Thurn und Taxis , which was first mentioned in 1633 and which gave the later inn its name. The current building was erected in the middle of the 18th century. In 1788 Johann Wolfgang von Goethe , who was on his way back from his first trip to Italy, stayed at the inn with Philipp Christoph Kayser . The Bavarian King Ludwig I of Bavaria also stayed at the Gasthof zur Post. The building is a two-storey, eaves-standing half-hip roof building with dormer window . A more modern building wing adjoins it to the west.
