Once part of the medieval city wall around 1350, it was demolished and rebuilt in 1911 in a simplified form (and wider for traffic). Today, it provides access to the market. The former arched bridge over the moat is hidden beneath the houses to the left and right.

With the construction of the medieval city wall around 1350 at the behest of the German Emperor Charles VI, the city gates were also built. The Upper Gate in the western part of the old town even temporarily had a drawbridge over the moat that had been created at that time, which connected it to the Waldnaab River. The gate was reinforced and rebuilt several times, and finally, in 1911, due to the widening of the street, it was completely demolished and rebuilt in a simplified form. It has remained in this form to this day.

Weiden sculptor Günter Mauermann created the fountain named after him from granite and bronze in 1985 and 1986. The fountain is designed as a picture arch with a veil of water, providing colorful insights into the town's history and Upper Palatinate customs. Its shape is intended to evoke the two gates between which the fountain is located.

Built in the early Renaissance period between 1539 and 1543, the Old Town Hall is today the landmark of the city of Weiden. A town hall stood here as early as 1400, but burned down to its foundations in 1536. While the new town hall, subsequently constructed by master builder Hans Nopl, served the administration on the upper floors, the ground floor housed sixteen shops. Since the construction of the New Town Hall in 1978, a city council meeting has been held here only once a year. It is also used for weddings and special receptions. Shops still house the ground floor today. A remarkable carillon chimes daily at 11:35 a.m. and 4:35 p.m.

The originally Gothic church was first mentioned in 1341, when King John of Bohemia granted the right to occupy the church to the Waldsassen Monastery. Its history probably dates back to the 12th century. The first Protestant pastor is documented in 1535. In 1627, the church was taken over by the Jesuits during the re-Catholicization process, and from 1633 to 1899, it was used simultaneously by both denominations. Max Reger served as organist at this church from 1883 to 1889.
