    As part of the former city fortifications, the city gate with attached gatehouse was built after 1200. As a monument of urban development, it has been a listed building for many years and is part of the historic city complex. "Chiten" was first mentioned as a place in Geithain in 1186. In 1209 Geithain was granted town charter.
