The gate led to the Main ferry, which connected the town with Dettelbach and its pilgrimage church Maria im Sand. Therefore, the designation Maintor or Dettelbacher Tor prevailed. In 1831 a lightning strike destroyed the roof of the tower and the fire spread to the wooden structure of the gatehouse. The fire brigade was not able to extinguish the building due to the height of the gate, so it was built lower in 1585 during the reconstruction
