The Oak Gate is a historic city gate that was once part of the city fortifications. It served as the entrance to the city and has retained its historic charm to this day.

The Oak Gate, also known as the Old City Gate, is the only one of the three remaining city gates in the oldest walled city of Kronberg im Taunus. It was built after the town was granted city rights in 1330 and is an important historical monument of the city.
