Idyllic place

With the construction of the medieval city wall around 1350 at the behest of the German Emperor Charles VI, the city gates were also built. The Upper Gate in the western part of the old town even temporarily had a drawbridge over the moat that had been created at that time, which connected it to the Waldnaab River. The gate was reinforced and rebuilt several times, and finally, in 1911, due to the widening of the street, it was completely demolished and rebuilt in a simplified form. It has remained in this form to this day.

A beautiful park, located directly outside the city walls. Well-kept paths and flowerbeds, cozy and secluded seating areas, a lawn, and areas along the water's edge make the park pleasant and worth a visit. During the summer months, Max Reger Park hosts the "Weiden Summer Serenades."

In historical times, there were particularly elaborate and prestigious defense structures in the area of the Upper Gate. The gate complex consisted of the gate tower, the front gate with two mighty round towers and a nearly 16 m long stone bridge that once led over the city moat. The core of the gate tower probably dates back to the 13th century. It was demolished in 1911 and replaced by the Upper Gate, which still exists today.

Upper Gate The Upper Gate was built at the same time as the Lower Gate in around 1350 when the medieval city wall was built. A document from Charles IV from 1347 records that the city of Weiden was to be fortified. The Upper Gate has existed since this time at the latest. The construction of the Zwinger wall required the construction of a front gate. When an additional ditch was dug between the Waldnaab and the northwest corner, the gate was given a drawbridge. On the other side of the ditch, a semicircular roundel was built, which initially consisted of palisades. This was demolished again when the ramparts were built in 1634 and replaced with a triangular rampart. Another reconstruction took place a short time later in 1641, when new ramparts were built. A stone bridge was built over the city moat around 1783. The gate with a double hipped roof was demolished in 1911 to widen the street and rebuilt in a simplified form. Houses were built to the left and right of the former stone bridge. This still exists under the pavement and the three bridge arches are used as cellars. The gate stumps have the same function, as the round front towers were also demolished in the 19th century. Source: www.wikipedia.de
