weigh-houses (<public buildings by function>, public buildings (governmental buildings), ... Built Environment (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Buildings constructed or used to weigh goods as a public service, particularly those buildings constructed before 1800 in European cities prior to the establishment of international standards for weights. Weigh-houses were particularly common in Germany, the Netherlands, and Poland, where they were typically constructed near the town market square, town gate, or port. Authorities also used the facilities to levy taxes on goods transported through or sold within the city.

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 建造或用於為貨物過磅的公共服務建築,尤指1800年之前,歐洲城市確立國際磅重規範前,所建造的建築物。過磅處在德國、荷蘭和波蘭尤其普遍,一般建在城鎮的市集、出入口或港口附近。管理機構亦用此設施來課徵運經該城或在城內銷售的貨物稅。 
Dutch ..... Openbare gebouwen waar men goederen woog als publieke dienst, met name dit soort gebouwen die in Europese steden zijn gebouwd voor 1800, voordat men internationale standaardgewichten invoerde. Vooral in Duitsland, Nederland en Polen stonden veel wagen. Gewoonlijk bouwde men ze in de buurt van marktpleinen, stadspoorten of havens. De autoriteiten gebruikten de gebouwen ook om belasting te heffen op goederen die door de stad werden vervoerd of er werden verkocht.
