In the 19th century, all external gates of the city were cut off, except for the outer gate, after the wall had been removed at the end of the eighteenth century. And the trenches and ramparts gradually disappeared.

To protect the Mühlhausen suburbs, an outer city fortification was built in the 14th century. Of the originally three high gate towers, only that of the outer Frauentor from the 15th century has been preserved.

To protect the Mühlhausen suburbs, an outer city fortification was built in the 14th century. Of the original three high gate towers, only that of the outer women's gate from the 15th century has been preserved. After driving through from the west, an impressive view of the former imperial city opens up. The barrel vault shows late Gothic tracery with keystones with foliage ornamentation. On the outside, a formerly painted niche, arched windows with tracery, the holders for the gate leaves and the joints for the portcullis have survived.
