The German Gate, facing the German Empire, formed the transition from the city center to the lock bridge and the defenses of the fortress city. The actual gate building was demolished in 1886. In Prussian times, casemates were built on both sides and a provisions building was built towards the city, opposite the gate. The cannons date from the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71, the coat of arms and the royal crown on the inside of the gate are reminiscent of the Prussian period after 1815. The counterpart to the German Gate was the no longer existing French Gate at the end of the French Street - today Kleiner Markt.

During the renovation, cannons dating back to the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71 were placed on the exterior of the German Gate. One of them was found in the mud during the construction of the Saaraltarm recreation area; the other was purchased. Both cannons were manufactured by Krupp.
