The name "Nürnberger Tor" (Nuremberg Gate) comes from the fact that Heldburg fell to the Burgraves of Nuremberg in 1353. Under the rule of the Nuremberg Burgraves (the later Hohenzollerns), the town was fortified. The master builder Caspar Bock from Nuremberg was significantly involved in the expansion of the town's fortifications in the 16th century, which architecturally solidified the connection to the city of Nuremberg.

The Nuremberg Gate was built in 1444 to complete the new city fortifications. There is a crest relief on the west side.
