The five-story Martinstor, also known as the Lindau Gate, built of argentinian pebbles and bricks, is one of the three remaining city gates of Wangen im Allgäu, along with the Frauentor and the Pfaffentor at the town hall. The other two were demolished in the 19th century.

St. Martins Gate, Wangen im Allgäu
At the entrance to Paradiesstrasse is the St. Martin's Gate (named after the patron of the neighboring parish church), now also called Lindauer Tor. It was first mentioned in 1347 as Sweglarstor (after the Sweglar family). Like the Ravensburger Tor, it received its current shape in 1608. It is squatter and more powerful than the latter and has retained some of its original Gothic character. There are remains of the Gothic painting in the doorway. The various tower rooms have recently been restored and furnished. They are used by local clubs.

The route out of the old town towards the south leads along Paradiesstrasse through the Martinstor. The name is derived from the neighboring parish church. A painting of Saint St. Martin can be seen on the side facing the city center. The people of Wangen also call the tower the Lindau Gate. It was first mentioned in 1347. The Martinstor - like the Ravensburger Tor - received its current form in 1608, although its original Gothic character was partially preserved. There are remains of the Gothic painting in the doorway. The various tower rooms have been restored and furnished. They are used by local clubs. The painting facing Paradiesstrasse was done by August and Josef Braun in 1928. On the south-facing side of the gate there is a clock in the middle that advises visitors to the city center: "Take your time!"

The Martinstor seen from Lindauer Straße. The square in front of it (Martinstorplatz) is currently being converted into a roundabout.

For centuries, the mighty Martinstor has guarded one of the old entrances to the old city republic of Wangen and today delights the eye of many people.
