Tips

Andrea und Huskys 🐺

The Lower Gate is the only one of eight city gates in the medieval city wall that has survived to this day. It was originally built with the wall around 1350, based on a decree by Emperor Charles IV in 1347. During the Thirty Years' War, the gate was severely damaged by enemy fire in 1635. The necessary reconstruction was then largely carried out in its current form. In 1945, the gate was damaged again when an American tank crashed into it. This, however, created the opportunity to create a pedestrian passageway. This idea was realized in 1955.

Through the Untere Tor and the Vortor - created after the bombardment of the year 1635 in the today's form - one reaches the Schlörplatz. The passage for pedestrians was created in 1955 after the gate was damaged by American tanks. Here is the so-called nail cross, which was created by donations in 1915 and should remind. Next door is the hotel at the gate.

Between the Old Town Hall and the Lower Gate is the "Lower Market", which is the location for the four large annual fairs that have been held since 1396, and the weekly and farmers' markets that take place on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Renaissance style features can be found on many of the town houses.
