history

The old company gate

It is not known exactly when the first company gate was erected. It was part of the Flensburg city fortifications and existed as early as the 15th century. It was replaced by today's new building in 1602 . In the old city view of Flensburg von Braun and Hogenberg , there is also a port gate at the point in question, but this gate could also be the ship's bridge gate, so that it is not clear how the gate, sometimes also referred to as the gate, looked exactly .

The new company gate

The gate was built in 1602 by the builder Dirick Lindingk as a meeting place for the Flensburg boatmen (boat party). With its age, the Kompagnietor is one of the oldest secular buildings in the city . The newly built company gate originally had stepped gables on its sides, similar to the former Norderpforte, the predecessor of the Nordertor .

The tiled hall decorated with Dutch tiles is worth seeing . High water marks from previous floods can be seen on the front building. In the gable is the Flensburg coat of arms and the inscription Gerecht und Metich alltidt sin Mit Gades hülp brings grodt profit ( Being just and moderate at all times with God's help brings great profit) and the arms of King Christian IV of Denmark and Norway and his wife the Queen To see Anna Katharina von Brandenburg .

Today the Kompagnietor seat of the European Center for Minority Issues (European Center for Minority Issues) .
