The Kreuztor (Cross Gate) was built when Ingolstadt was a Bavarian state fortress, and the second defensive ring was built around the city in the 14th and 15th centuries. The name "Schanz" (fortress) for Ingolstadt also originates from this period, as the citizens of Ingolstadt could entrench themselves safely behind the walls. Furthermore, they could spot approaching enemies in time from the mighty octagonal tower that rises behind the gate. The gate is a landmark of Ingolstadt and is considered one of the most beautiful city gates in Germany.

Very beautiful old city gate, even if not much of the old city wall has been preserved at the site.

A great building - the entrance to the old town of Ingolstadt. The former brush factory built next to it completes the beautiful ensemble. The Kreuztor, built in 1385, is also the landmark of the city of Ingolstadt.

The Kreuztor in Ingolstadt dates from the 14th century and is part of a massive fortification ring of the city from that time. Six corner turrets and sparingly used limestone ornaments adorn the distinctive brick red gate tower. Its name comes from the cross gate from the former leper house to the Holy Cross, on whose driveway it is located.

If you enter the city center from the west, you pass the Kreuztor, which is a landmark of Ingolstadt. It is part of the second massive ring of fortifications and dates from the late 14th century. Six corner towers and sparingly used limestone decorations adorn the striking brick-red gate tower. The cross gate takes its name from the former house of lepers to the Holy Cross, at the entrance to which it is located. Three more gates were built with the Kreuztor, of which only the Feldkirchner Tor remained as part of the New Palace - the corresponding street names are reminiscent of Hardertor and Donautor (in the north and south of the old town).

The Kreuztor, built in 1385, is the landmark of Ingolstadt. The name of the gate derives from the former leprosy house located to the west of the city to the Holy Cross, which was destroyed in 1546 in the Schmalkaldic War.

The seven-towered Kreuztor is part of the second Ingolstadt city wall built in 1363. It is the only one of the original four main gates Feldkirchnertor, Hardertor, Kreuztor and Donautor that is still preserved.
