Impressive Middle Ages at the Nördlinger Gate.

A moment of shock on August 9, 2023: Flames and a massive column of smoke emerge from one of the city's landmarks, the Nördlingen Gate Tower. The fire was presumably caused by a technical defect. The fire brigade quickly got the fire under control. However, rooms in the museum were destroyed.

The Nördlingen Gate, built around 1400, is adorned with a stepped gable from the 16th century with half-shells. Storks nest on the top of the gate tower.

Directly southwest of the Nördlinger Gate, an ancient, worn stone staircase leads up to the top of the wall and to the battlement directly above the gate, from which the entrance to the city was defended against enemies.

ruin in the forest. Only a little of the keep to see. The castle was the family castle of the Lords of Gromberg (mentioned in documents from 1235 to 1518). Gromberg Castle, like Kapfenburg Castle opposite and Königsbühl Castle 800 meters to the east, of which only the remains of the earthworks remain, served to monitor the ancient trade route from Remstal to Ries, today Federal Road 29.

Nördlinger Tor:: The name refers to the neighboring imperial city of Nördlingen. The tower is located on the old military and pilgrimage route (North Sea - Italy) that led to the right of the Wörnitz via Mönchsroth, Wilburgstetten and Greiselbach to Nördlingen. Today's Nördlinger Tor can be traced back to 1404, when gardens there are a pledge of debt. Around 1406, an orchard was named after a house with a riding post in the Nördlinger suburb near the gate. Since 1410 there is already talk of the wall of the Nördlinger suburb, today's Nördlinger Tor could have been built around 1390. The inner Nördlinger tower was first mentioned in 1425.
