Looking west, the Ipf is unmistakable.

The Baldinger Tor (Balding Gate) in Nördlingen is one of the five historic city gates and was first mentioned in 1376. It secured the road toward Würzburg and Frankfurt am Main and was part of the medieval city fortifications. The outer gate was completed in 1406 by Master Wenceslaus, and a new structure was built in 1430 under the direction of the stonemason Conrad Stenglin. Originally, the gate complex resembled the Berger Tor: a rectangular main gate with an almost square outer gate. The tower was five stories high and supported a circular top with a gun parapet and a tent roof. The gate was damaged during the Thirty Years' War, and in 1703 the tower unexpectedly collapsed – presumably due to inadequate repairs. Five people were killed.

The Berger Gate in Nördlingen is one of the five remaining city gates and once secured the road toward Ulm. It was built between 1435 and 1436 by the master builder Hans Rews. The upper tower floors were later expanded between 1574 and 1575 by Wolfgang and Caspar Waldberger, giving the gate its present appearance. Particularly noteworthy is the coffered barrel vault of the gate passage – an architectural detail that gives the gate its distinctive character. A cannonball from the Thirty Years' War remains embedded in the masonry, commemorating the siege of Nördlingen in 1634.

The Old Bastion was originally built in the 15th century as a mighty bulwark to reinforce the city walls. The city was particularly vulnerable at this point due to the rising terrain of the Galgenberg (Gallows Hill). The current structure dates from 1554, erected by Caspar Walberger, and was expanded in 1598 by Wolfgang Walberger. The bastion could accommodate up to ten cannons and was a central part of the defense system. Since the 1930s, the bastion has served as an open-air stage, operated by the Alt Nördlingen Association. Every summer, theater performances are held here, attracting visitors from all over the region.

The Reimlinger Gate is Nördlingen's oldest surviving city gate, dating back to the 14th century. It once secured the important trade route toward Donauwörth and Augsburg. The square tower was built around 1376 and later rebuilt several times – the current tent roof dates from 1603. Despite some alterations, the gate, with its bridgework and moat walls, has been largely preserved in its original form and is an impressive testament to the city's medieval defenses.

The Deininger Gate is one of Nördlingen's historic city gates and a striking example of late medieval defensive architecture. It once served as an architectural model for the neighboring Löpsinger Gate and is notable for its slender construction and curved roof. Unlike the city's other gate towers, the Deininger Gate lacked a gun platform, making it particularly vulnerable to enemy attacks. A memorial plaque commemorates the dramatic events of 1634, when imperial soldiers entered the tower during the Battle of Nördlingen. The defenders were only able to expel them by setting fire to the tower itself. The current structure, with its twelve round-arched windows, dates from the final years of the Thirty Years' War, around 1645/1646. The gate is an impressive testament to Nördlingen's eventful history and a popular stop on the historical city tour.

The Löpsinger Gate was completed in 1379 and originally served as a defensive structure in the north of the city. Today, the gate tower houses the City Wall Museum, which opened in 1987 and documents the history of Nördlingen's city fortifications on six floors.

The Old Bastion, once part of the medieval city fortifications, was built in the 15th century to protect the city at a particularly vulnerable point—the rising terrain of the Galgenberg. The bastion was heavily fortified and could accommodate up to ten cannons.
