One of the most well-known landmarks of a major German city, which was almost demolished in the 19th century.
In 1808 the second Outer Holsten Gate was demolished, in 1828 the Inner Holsten Gate and in 1853 the Outer Holsten Gate. At that time it was only a matter of time before the Middle Holsten Gate, the only remaining of the four gates, would be demolished.

"Because of its high profile, it is now considered a landmark of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck.This late Gothic building is one of the remnants of the former Lübeck fortifications.It is next to the castle gate the only preserved city gate Lübeck.
In the years 1464-1478 the Holstentor was built by city master builder Hinrich Helmstede after Dutch models.

The building is a twin tower complex formed by two mighty towers, the South Tower and the North Tower. The Holstentor has a slate-roofed conical roof, the middle of which forms an intermediate tract in which the passage gate is located. Above the archway (city side) is the gilded inscription CONCORDIA DOMI FORIS PAX, which was placed in a slightly modified form only in 1843 by the former Vortor here. The character of the gothic building has changed fundamentally compared to the field side. It is very richly structured and lighter than the field side due to the horizontally layered aperture sequences. Above the passage you can read the dedication inscription: 1477 S.P.Q.L. 1871, which was first installed on the occasion of the completion of the restoration work in 1871.
