Steiner Gate “Landmark of Krems” The Steiner Gate is the landmark of Krems and the only remaining of the four former city gates. The main tower, dating from the late 15th century, bears a series of inscriptions on its exterior, including the motto AEIOU (All the earth is subject to Austria) in memory of Frederick III. Three coats of arms from 1756 adorn the city entrance: on the left, the one granted by Emperor Frederick III, still valid today, depicting the crowned double-headed eagle on a black background; on the right, the coat of arms of Ladislaus Posthumus; and in the center, the coat of arms of Maria Theresa. The installation in the base area by Leo Zogmeyer includes metal cubes with proclamations commemorating the persecution and extermination of Jewish citizens in Krems after 1938. Outside the Steiner Gate, the area was originally threatened by flooding from the Danube. The demolition of the city walls, which also served as flood protection, was only made possible by the regulation of the river in the 19th century and ultimately by the extensive construction of dams south of Krems' old town as part of the construction of the Wachau Railway at the beginning of the 20th century. A memorial stone affixed to the inner side of the Steinertor (Steiner Gate) commemorates a devastating flood in 1573 when an ice jam inundated the main road. Behind the Steinertor begins the Obere Landstraße (Upper Main Street), Krems' pedestrian zone, which, together with the Untere Landstraße (Lower Main Street), has formed the main axis of Krems' old town since the Middle Ages and leads to the Wiener Brücke (Vienna Bridge) in a length of approximately 700 meters.
