The covered with colored tiles Obertor (Porte Haute) is part of the 1312 built city wall of Bergheim. At the upper gate there is also the bas-relief of "Lack mi", which depicts a man mocking his pursuers with a bare backside. The illustration refers to the right of asylum, which granted the city since 1361 persecuted.
