Hausener Tor (Nuremberg Gate)
The Hausener Tor consists of its own five-storey gate tower, which is connected to a front gate. The tower was built under Bishop Friedrich von Öttingen. The gate openings show curly pointed arches. The passage is vaulted by a segment barrel. On the side walls, as is often the case, arched seating niches. The two upper floors are furnished as an apartment, with corresponding windows; rectangular window slots in the storeys below. A helmet roof with a four-sided baroque lantern from the end of the 17th century closes the tower. The access to the upper floors is via a covered flight of stairs on the north side; Ogival entrance. The front gate is a two-story building, the upper floor is inhabited. The door opening changed. Passage with flat roof. The stone pans for the gate wings were preserved. Above the gate opening three stone tablets with coats of arms: in the middle Hochstift Eichstätt and Reichenau with the year 1496, on the side, on rounded shields, the coat of arms of the Hochstift or the city. All three cover water hammer. The front gate has a hipped roof. As the main coat of arms shows, the construction took place under Bishop Wilhelm von Reichenau.
The other two gates are of the same type. B. returns in Berching. Wilhelm von Reichenau had a front gate added to the gate towers of Bishop Friedrich.
