The Crailsheimer Tor with the Zwinger used to belong to the large city fortifications. As was customary in the past, the gate has a narrow passage.

The Crailsheimer Tor used to be part of the city fortifications from 1827.

The (outer) Crailsheim or Langenfelder Gate (named after the abandoned village of Langenfeld) is the most important and best preserved of the city gates. It was one of two consecutive gates that provided double security for this city entrance. The inner Langenfelder Gate, which lay in front of the mouth of the Rosenbühl, was demolished in 1826. The outer gate formed the corner between the Schiedgraben and the city fortifications to the east. The approximately 5 m deep ditches on the east and south sides were filled in in the early 19th century. The construction of the outer Langenfelder Gate around 1515 completed the massive reinforcement of the fortifications in the area of the Schiedgraben in the 15th and early 16th centuries.

The heavily fortified corner on the way to Crailsheim and Nuremberg, also known as the Langenfelder Gate, was built quite late, around 1530. When you walk through the opening, the impressive dimensions become really clear. One of the last parts of the old city wall has also been preserved here.

The Crailsheimer Tor in Schwäbisch Hall's city fortifications is also called Langenfelder Tor. It was built around 1550 and has a gatekeeper's house. There was also once a moat around the city - so access to the city was secured with a drawbridge.

According to E. Krüger, the (outer) Crailsheim or Langenfeld Gate (named after the abandoned village of Langenfeld) is the most important and best-preserved of the city gates. It was one of two consecutive gates that provided dual security for this city entrance. The inner Langenfeld Gate, located at the mouth of the Rosenbühl River, was demolished in 1826. The outer gate formed the corner between the Schiedgraben and the city fortifications to the east. The approximately 5 m deep ditches on the east and south sides were filled in the early 19th century.
