The Heisterbacher Tor is in the southwest and was supposed to be demolished in the 19th century. That could be prevented. The overroom for the historic battlement was restored.
At the Heisterbacher Tor there is the ascent to the city wall, which you can walk up to a length of approx. 220 meters.

With the exception of the passage and parts of the storey above, the Heisterbacher Tor has been heavily reshaped since the time it was built;
the reconstruction of the battlements with ascent to the tower and continuation to the southwest corner tower over the steep cliff is one of the most impressive sections of the Münstereifel city wall and shows the high level of technical knowledge of its builders.
