    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.
