Originally there were three gates in Berka / Werra, only the lower gate in the north of the old town remained. A half-timbered gatehouse with a stone, arched passage. The pedestrian passage was only created at the beginning of the 20th century.

Berka had three city gates but no city wall. One of these is the well-preserved Lower Gate.
