Although three gatehouses narrow the access roads, they are not towering, defensive towers. The Bad- or Lendershäuser Tor, the Weth- or Großmannsdorfer Tor, and the Obertor were probably no longer intended for defensive purposes when they were built in the second decade of the 18th century, but rather as customs and inspection posts.

1715/16 Prince Bishop Philipp von Greifenclau erected the Upper Gate on the south side of the city. From the old town hall (former tax office) comes the outside attached coat of arms of the prince bishop Friedrich von Wirsberg (1558-1573).
