Um 1902 ist auf einer Dorfansichtskarte in diesem Gebäude die Gemischtwarenhandlung von Johann Schweighöfer zu erkennen.

1919 wurde die Gendarmeriestation von Kolitzheim hierher in dieses Haus verlegt. Die „Königlich bayerischen Beamten” blieben bis 1938.

Im Anschluss daran eröffnete Samuel Frank eine Stoffhandlung.

Eine Obst- und Gemüsehandlung war anschließend ebenso untergebracht wie die Post von 1953 - 1958.

(English translation:)

On a village map from around 1902, the general store of Johann Schweighöfer was indicated as occupying this building.

In 1919 the building became the gendarmerie station of Kolitzheim. "Royal Bavarian officials" stayed until 1938.
