The gate was first mentioned in 1455. At Finstertor was the place of execution and here lived the executioner.

The Finstertor in the Nikolaivorstadt was part of the former fortifications around Görlitz and is the only city gate still preserved today. It was first mentioned as early as 1455 as the "Gate at the Guardian of the Dead".

Who comes by bike should push better, it rumbles vigorously and the slope is not without.
