Demminer Tor
The Demminer Tor in Altentreptow is a Gothic city gate and one of the original three gates of the city wall that surrounded the city.
history
The city wall of Altentreptow with its three city gates was built around 1450. The city wall and the supplementary wall were gradually torn down after the Thirty Years' War .
The mill gate was demolished in 1844 and the granary of the Tollensemühle was built on it. The southern Brandenburg Gate and the Demminer Gate have been preserved. This older late Gothic gate with its ogival passage was built in the northeast on the road to Demmin . Like the Brandenburg Gate, it was originally a gate tower . However, the higher tower was demolished. In the second half of the 19th century, the appearance was significantly changed during a renovation and the two tower-like attachments and the upper parapet above the gate passage were made from bricks.
In 1927 part of the balustrade fell and in 1928 the gate had to be repaired. Another renovation took place in 1928.
Monument protection
The remains of the city fortifications with the Neubrandenburger gate tower, Demminer gate tower, city wall and ramparts are under monument protection (see list of architectural monuments in Altentreptow , No. 83).
