The fortified walls that once protectively surrounded the town of Zülpich allowed controlled entry here at the Bachtor.

It was built in 1393, also as a double gate system at the end of Bachstrasse in the north towards Bergheim and the Netherlands. Here the entrance gate, shown on an engraving from 1746 as a battlement entrance gate without round towers (similar to the Cologne Gate), was removed around 1900 due to the increasing traffic. The city wall reached up to the gate. Later, again because of the traffic, it was breached. Today the street layout of the Bachstraße (K 82) named after the gate runs west of the gate.
