The Reimlinger Gate is Nördlingen's oldest surviving city gate, dating back to the 14th century. It once secured the important trade route toward Donauwörth and Augsburg. The square tower was built around 1376 and later rebuilt several times – the current tent roof dates from 1603. Despite some alterations, the gate, with its bridgework and moat walls, has been largely preserved in its original form and is an impressive testament to the city's medieval defenses.

The city gates are named after the places outside the city. The towns of Baldingen, Löpsingen, Deiningen and Reimlingen have given four gates their names. Only the fifth, the Berger Tor, is not named after a place, but after a mountain, the Friedhofsberg.
