history
The first documented mention of the gate comes from the year 1238. In the 17th century the gate tower was shortened and given a baroque hood. However, parts of the symmetrical complex collapsed in 1862. The city gate was then largely demolished. Another indication gives the year 1860 as the time when the Hagentor was demolished. A remnant that had been preserved was then redesigned around 1870/1880 in the style of historicism . The transition between the remains of the gate and the preserved medieval city wall was given a crenellated wreath . Two historicizing pillars crowned with battlements were made from red sandstone to commemorate the city gate, but only one of them has survived.
Today's facility is a listed building and is an important building in the history of the city.
