The Red Gate of Spitz's old market fortifications offers a beautiful view of the market town in front of the Tausendeimerberg hill.
Next to it stands a beautiful historic shrine.

The last of the seven fortified gates to be captured by the Swedes in the Thirty Years War, with high blood toll on both sides. The name “Red Gate” reminds us of this bloody time. It is also called the Swedish Gate and is a popular destination with a beautiful view of Spitz.

"Das Rote Tor", one of the Spitzer city gates, is only 20 minutes' walk from the town center. The last of the seven fortified gates to be captured by the Swedes in the Thirty Years War, with high blood toll on both sides. The name "Red Gate" is a reminder of this bloody time.
