Tips

The Söder Tor, which stands directly next to the graduation tower, is a historic city gate in the Sooden district and a landmark of the spa town. It was built in 1704/05 and was the only access to the landgrave's saltworks. A strict gatekeeper checked everyone here so that no one could transport salt out without paying the required duty in advance. Despite the controls, customs regulations were obviously repeatedly circumvented. That's why the gate also served as a prison. All of this is explained in detail today in the neighboring salt museum.

The Söder Gate dates from 1704/05. A long fence around the saltworks with the only exit “Söder Tor” was intended to ensure that no salt was stolen or left the saltworks without paying customs duties. The revenue was too important for the sovereigns.
