Architecture and history
The Niedergässer gate tower was originally located at this point, but it was demolished in 1824/27 in order to better handle stagecoach traffic. High, sandstone gateposts were built on both sides of the street , which still document the historical city limits. The posts are cautiously decorated with tracery in neo-Gothic style. Something similar can be found on the driveway to Stolberg Castle . Until 1875, the gate system in connection with a gatekeeper house was still important for the collection of an escort duty , which was then abolished.
In the local register of monuments , the gate system has been listed as a monument since March 5, 2002 under registration number 094 30488 . The gate system is considered to be culturally, artistically, historically and urbanistically significant.
