Michelstadt was once surrounded by a city wall with two gates. Only one image reminds of the Lower City Gate, which stood here from 1398 to 1838. When the gate was demolished, the clock tower was moved to the facade of the town hall.

This is what the lower gate might have looked like in 1750. A man with his dog pushes a heavy hand truck through the gate into the city. This lithograph was created in 1840.
The gate was in the Große Gasse, was built in 1398 and demolished in 1838.
