The Mittertor is the western city gate of the former Kelheim city fortifications from the 13th century.
The square gate tower received the pointed arch openings and the tent roof during the renovation in 1809. On the side of the gate that faces the city there is a fresco with the master butcher Matthias Kraus, who made history with his rebellion against the Austrian occupation in Kelheim.

The defense tower built in the 14th century originally had a gabled roof. On the outside there was a vestibule until 1869. In 1904, a mural was attached to the inside of the city gate, depicting the capture of the Austrian garrison by master butcher Kraus on December 12, 1705. The original of the painting is in the National Museum in Munich.

Very nice market square with some historic buildings. Great restaurants. Everything from ice cream parlors to beer gardens is represented. 🥰
