    The Aachen Gate was built at the beginning of the 14th century in connection with Bergheim's becoming a town and its fortifications. It protected the long-distance trade route between Cologne and Aachen.

    With its central, two-storey rectangular building and three-quarter round towers on the outside corners, the Aachen Gate is one of the mightiest city gates in the Rhineland.

      The Aachener Tor is maintained by a heritage association and is open to the public on days of the open monument, so that the inner life can also be examined
