Magdeburg Gate (Hundisburg)
The Magdeburger Tor in the Hundisburg district of Haldensleber is a gate that was previously also used as a bridge. In the local register of monuments , the complex is entered as a culturally and artistically interesting testimony to the local building and castle history. The gate bridges Magdeburger Straße where it branches off from Hundisburger Hauptstraße . From here the access to the castle driveway was made.
The gate system was designed with a double function as a passage through the street and as a bridge connecting the old and new pleasure gardens of the palace. The building was erected on this site in the 1730s. There had already been a Magdeburg Gate further northwest , which was moved for the first time during the renovation of the palace gardens. With a second change to the park and the creation of a new pleasure garden on the south side of Magdeburger Straße (the Hundisburger Unterhof has been located in the place of this pleasure garden since the middle of the 19th century ), it was then rebuilt at its current location. An originally existing parapet was probably lost in the 19th century. The quarry stone building served as a representative entrance to the manor district. Since 1741 the Lüneburger Heerstraße ran through the gate , which until then had led into the village through the Rottmersleber Gate at the hospital .
