    Tips

    The Lechenicher Torbauten were given different names in the course of their history, but they always referred to the goal of the path starting and continuing along the way. So it was called the today after the neighboring district Herrig leading Herriger Tor 1371 "Harger portze" and in the 17th century it was the "Dürener Port". The present-day Bonn Gate was first mentioned in 1357 as "bunre portze" and referred to the former coronation street, the highway to Bonn.

        The two-story brick superstructure with a crenellated neo-Gothic style was created during the restoration in 1853, when the gate was equipped with prison cells. The different materials show how extensively the gate was destroyed during the siege of Lechenich in the Hesse War in 1642.
