    Hiking

    The wall area between the Königstor and the Spittlertor is called the Frauentormauer. The street Frauentormauer inside the city wall and the main road outside Frauentorgraben were named after it. Additional gates were built in this area in the 19th century: Sterntor, Kartäusertor, Färbertor and Jakobstor.[2]

    Nuremberg's red-light district is located behind the western end of the Frauentormauer, between the Spittlertor and the Färbertor. The first sources indicate that prostitution was practiced in women's shelters as early as 1381. In the 19th century the houses were often referred to as wine shops

    3.8 kilometers of the original five kilometers of city wall still stand. People and goods used to get in and out of the city through five main gates and two pedestrian passages. There have been seven additional gates since the mid-19th century.
