    The Vogeltor in Augsburg is part of the former city wall and used to serve as an entrance to the Jakobervorstadt, which is located in the area of today's Augsburg inner city planning area.
    The mostly unadorned gate tower from 1445 is square and has four floors that can be seen from the outside, but is empty inside.
