The gate, which is now often referred to only as Stadttor [1], Stadttor Möllenvogtei [2] or Stadttor Domplatz 1 [3] and is under monument protection, was built in 1493, according to other information not until 1495 [4], in the late Gothic period between the historic half-timbered house Remtergang 1 and the old Möllenvogtei built as part of the medieval city fortifications. Previously, the Hebbenstrid, a tower-like building with a gate passage, stood on the site, but was demolished in 1492. Located in the immediate vicinity of the choir of Magdeburg Cathedral in Magdeburg's old town, it served the archbishops and later the administrators as a connection between the cathedral square to the west and the bank of the Elbe east of the gate. In particular, this gave access to the archbishopric Elbe harbor, which was established in 1377, but was described as derelict in 1520. In addition, the gate led to a path that led outside the city fortifications along the Elbe [5] and also to the Berge monastery to the south [6].

Due to the expansion of the city fortifications on the Elbe side in 1525, the gate lost its importance. It still served as access to the Möllenvogteigarten and was thus preserved over the centuries.
