The Untertor is part of the oldest part of the city's fortifications and was built between 1230 and 1250. This is indicated, among other things, by the gate tower with the boss blocks at the corners.

The stepped gables and the arched doorway with sandstone capitals on both sides are also striking. After the town was threatened by the Bermating farmers in 1525, a porch was added in 1534 to reinforce the gate of the previously very narrow tower.

The Untertor was the starting point for the daily night watchman round.

In 1875, the Grand Ducal District Office of Überlingen warned the Markdorf city council to demolish the Untertorturm so that the narrow archway would no longer hinder traffic. The city did not follow the request and therefore still has an urban development “jewel” (source: markdorf.de/stadt-buerger/kultur-vereine/geschichter-stadtrundgang/untertor).
