    The Stone Gate is the oldest building and the most important landmark of Wittenberg's old town. It was probably built as a medieval gate in the middle of the 13th century in the Gothic style, with the upper part still being a wooden structure.
    A second gate in the south was the Elbe Gate, which burned down in 1751.
    It dates back to the time when the noble Lord Gans of Putlitz founded the town.
    Around 1430, John II of Buch had the tower rebuilt after a town fire in 1297, this time out of stone. In the past, the people of Wittenberg simply called the Stone Gate "Old Tower".
    In its history, from the 19th century onwards, it served as a police prison for a long time.
    But that ended in 1928, when a town and local history museum was housed here, it was the town's first museum.

      In the Old Castle (City Museum) you can also ask the entrance to the stone gate. The visit should last about 1 hour.
