Laimtor

The Laimtor , also known as the Laimturm, was an outbuilding of the Munich city fortifications .

The Laimtor was in front of the Isartor at the point where the Salzstrasse crossed the Laimbach over the Laimbrücke . Today this corresponds roughly to the place where Rumfordstrasse and Thierschstrasse meet on Isartorplatz. At this point, the outer Munich city brooks were combined into a run, which was called Laimbach in the Middle Ages and later Stadthammerschmiedbach.

The Laimtor was first mentioned in a document in 1369. It is not known when it was demolished. It is no longer shown in the oldest city view of Munich in Schedel's world chronicle from 1492 and the oldest city map of Munich by Tobias Volckmer from 1613. A gatehouse at the western bridgehead of the Isar bridge served as the outwork of the Isar Gate, which was replaced by the Red Tower in 1517-19 .
