The Upper Gate, also called the Upper Köditz Gate, was built at the beginning of the 15th century. To the south of it lay the village of Nähernköditz in the area of today's "Köditz Desert". The late medieval, slender tower of the main gate had 4 floors and a hipped roof. It looked similar to the Lower and Blankenburg Gates. In front of the Upper Gate there was a foregate, which was separated from it by a moat and connected by a bridge with battlements and loopholes.

In 1517 the Upper Gate was badly damaged by the town fire, but was rebuilt. After the second major town fire in 1727, however, reconstruction took over 10 years. Only 2 floors were rebuilt, and a baroque onion dome with an octagonal tower helmet was added.

The Obere Tor is one of Saalfeld's five city gates. Today only 4 gates are visible. Unfortunately this gate can not be committed.

The Upper Gate of 1738 forms the southern entrance to the old town.
