The Berger Tor secured the road to Ulm.
A previous building was not on today's site, but on Weinmarkt. The current Berger Tor was already built in 1362, but the gate tower had to be rebuilt in 1435/36 because it no longer met the defense requirements. After the loss of imperial freedom in 1803, the redoubts in front of the gates in Nördlingen began to be razed, the city moats drained and auctioned off to private individuals. In the area of the Berger Tor, the moat was filled in.
