    Lower Gate in Lichtenfels. Coming south towards Staffelstein or from the train station, you enter the old town through this gate.

      In the 14th century, the city was surrounded by a ring wall with three gates: the Lower or Bamberg Gate, the Upper or Kronach Gate (both still preserved today) and the Mühl or Coburg Gate. Of the five defensive towers, only the Red Tower remains today. A large part of the city wall, which was renovated several times in the 17th century, was demolished in the 19th century, especially during the construction of the railway in 1844/45.
