The Johannistor is the only largely preserved city gate in Jena, Thuringia. As part of the old city wall, it is connected to the powder tower via a reconstructed battlement. Only at the beginning of the 19th century, as a result of the increasing traffic load, the outer entrance gate was removed. The western gate tower was first mentioned in a document in 1304. In the 15th century, it was converted according to a late Gothic model and an oriel was added. The tower has a square floor plan with an edge length of 7.72 mx 7.85 m. The total height is 31.70 m.

One of Jena's remaining city gates. The battlements where you can stay are also very beautiful. 🥰 If you have the opportunity, take a look from the inside immediately. 😁 Been there several times and it's always interesting, with changing exhibitions. The view over the city also shows a new perspective on it. 😎

A bay window protrudes from the tower facade on stone console stones; it is popularly known as a cheese basket. A saint figure once adorned the tower; it was placed under a stone canopy, remains of which can still be seen. A comprehensive renovation of the gate was carried out in 1816, the last was completed in 2001.
