    The former gas station in Wolthausen was a remarkable example of early German gas station architecture. It was located on Alte Dorfstraße, along today's Bundesstraße 3 (formerly Reichsstraße 3), and was originally part of an inn.

    This station, which probably dates back to the 1920s, consisted of a single pump and a small attendant's cabin. It was still in operation in the 1970s and remained so until at least 1999. Later, it was lovingly restored and considered one of the few remaining "original gas stations" in Germany. Although the station no longer exists, it remains an important example of the history of automobile traffic in the Celle region.
