The eastern city gate, also known as the “Upper Gate”, is now the gatehouse above Bundesstraße 2 and is a listed building. Great view with the castle in the background.

Two gates were built at the east and west exit of the village, which was otherwise - as is typical for smaller towns - surrounded by a hag. The eastern "Upper Gate", which was converted into a guard house in 1527, has been preserved to this day.
