history
The gate was laid out under Duke Wilhelm V. In the model of the city of Munich from Jacob Sandtner from 1570, it is not present, the first Munich city map of Tobias Volckmer from the 1613 feed it into the label Herzogenstadttor. The name is attested Herzogstor in the literature.
As a side gate, it had no particular significance for traffic and was probably never open to the general public. It led from the Wilhelminische Veste, today's Maxburg, to the area where the Capuchin monastery was the only monastery in Munich outside the city walls.
The time of the demolition is not known, it is believed to be in the second half of the 19th century.
