The gate was built in the 15th century and has a 100 m long Holweg between the Elbtor and the city. Until the 19th century, this was the only access to the Elbe for horses and carriages. On the left side of the inner gate there is a measuring stick with the maximum water levels of the Elbe

The Roß-Pforte got its name from the fact that horse carts used to transport goods from the port to the town above.

The only access to the city from the port on the Elbe used to be via the Rossfurt and through the Elbtor
