The "Innere Holztor" in Gelnhausen protected the city to the north. It was secured by a portcullis and part of the city wall. The name wooden gate has nothing to do with a wooden gate. It is based on the situation at the exit of the city towards Büdinger Wald. From there came the once so valuable wood into the city.

With the two city gates only a few meters apart - the inner and outer wooden gate - the two rings of walls that once protectively surrounded the medieval city become particularly clear. The two rings of walls were built in the 13th and 14th centuries, approximately 100 years apart.

The first stone city wall around Gelnhausen dates back to 1220.
In addition, the city was secured with shell towers that had a square floor plan.
The side facing away from the city was built of stone, the side facing the city was only closed with wooden shells for cost reasons.
The towers are round on the side facing away from the city, so that cannon shots could not damage the towers so much.
