    Together with the bridge, the front gate, the bastion and the city moat, the Red Gate forms the so-called “Red Gate Wall System”. Large parts of these defensive structures have been preserved to this day. The Augsburg open-air stage is located in this beautiful setting today.

        The Red Gate with the other associated fortifications is a beautiful and impressive part of the old city fortifications.
