Wenn auf dem Schild an der Türe einer Toilette "BESETZT" steht, heißt das, dass jemand sie benutzt.

Is this another one of those relic case endings? I haven’t ever heard this and I have only ever seen “an der Tür”…does this come across as stuffy, formal, or old-fashioned, sort of like auf dem Lande?

It is slightly less old fashioned but not frequently used anymore as well.
