    The Vogeltor in Augsburg is part of the former city wall and used to serve as an entrance to the Jakobervorstadt, which is located in the area of today's Augsburg city center planning area.

      The legend tells, among other things, that a funny incident allegedly occurred when the city council wanted to remove the construction of the gate. A representative from the city questioned the current leadership of the tower. The builder then climbed onto the tower and relieved himself of his necessities from the upper window. When his "business" touched the floor without even touching the wall beforehand, the exact construction method was proven.

        The bird gate looks very defiant. In addition to the gate, a special weir construction of the water channel system can also be admired.
