The Obertor, or Haigeracher Tor, is a multi-storey gate tower with loopholes. It was built in the 13th/14th century and then rebuilt and renovated several times. The Haigeracher Tor was the city gate towards the Black Forest.

Northern city gate - I could climb a few steps onto a balcony - but then the door to the spire was closed.

The northern gate to the old town of Gengenbach has a pedestrian passage, which is also used by a pizzeria for seating and a café for art exhibitions.
