Very beautiful gate, part of the almost completely preserved

medieval city fortifications of Ahrweiler.

The Ahrtor, consisting of a five-storey gate tower and two flanking three-storey half-towers, is the largest of the four gates in the ring of Ahrweiler's city fortifications. Like the Catholic parish church "St. Laurentius" and the White Tower, it is one of the landmarks of the red wine town. The Ahrtor, which has an eaves height of 23.5 meters and a total height of 29 meters, was built in 1297 as part of the medieval city fortifications of Ahrweiler. The construction of the city fortifications and gates in Ahrweiler can be dated from 1246, after Count Friedrich von Hochstaden gave the bailiwick of Ahrweiler to his brother Konrad, the Archbishop of Cologne.

The Ahrtor is one of four city gates in Ahrweiler. After the destruction in the war is at the Ahr gate
a rampart was built in a modern form.
