Traces of the Second World War can still be seen at the upper gate. The Americans put a sign indicating the clearance height on their tanks, which can still be seen today. As in the whole city, you will also find good information boards here.

The Rossweiher and the washing pond in front of the gate are picturesque and ideal for a break.
