The Johannistor in the east wall of the city fortifications and is quite close to the castle. It is used as a quarter by the Eifelverein. Further information at: unser-quartier.de/ev-bm/lexikon/johannistor

The Johannistor is located in the east and opened the city's access towards the Ahr. Many barrels of Ahr wine rolled into the city through this gate. Today the Johannistor houses the Eifelverein, Bad Münstereifel local group.

In 1473 it was still called “sent Johans porzen”, with the exception of the missing original battlements and the roof extension that was added later; there have been hardly any changes; However, the construction of the bypass road largely changed the former ditch zone; It can be assumed that there was secure access to the settlement at today's Entenmarkt and later to the castle at this location as early as the 9th century, as the escape route to the Carolingian refugee castle further up on the eastern slope of the valley ran here.

The city gate is named after the St. Johannis parish church above. The well-preserved city gate is the eastern gate of the medieval city wall. On the side of the moat there is a pit pit and a toilet pit. The slots on the city side testify to the wooden construction of a master room that was previously attached there.
