    The high water marks of the often devastating floods before the barrages were built are carved into the outside of the archway.
    The round tower next to it is dated 1522. In front of the gate there used to be an important transhipment point for goods, which was created by loading and unloading ships.

    The Karlstadter Maintor with its characteristic round tower (built 1522) at the lower end of the Maingasse was in the medieval city of the entrance to the old river country in front of the city wall. The outside of the archway, with its flood marks, is a stony chronicle of the often devastating floods.
