Upper Gate (Pappenheim)
The Upper Gate is the last remaining city gate in Pappenheim , a town in the Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen district in Central Franconia . It forms the transition from Dr.-Wilhelm-Kraft-Weg to Klosterstrasse. The building is registered under the monument number D-5-7031-0253 as an architectural monument in the Bavarian monument list.
The gate tower dates from the late 14th century and is very well preserved; only the early modern kennel of the Vorwerk is missing . The gate was renewed in 1615 with the addition of the Vorwerk. A small residential building with a two-storey monopitch roof was added in the 18th or 19th century and modernized. The city wall runs along the northwest side.
The Upper Gate was one of three gates of the Pappenheim city wall, which is connected to the fortifications of Pappenheim Castle . The lower gate was demolished in 1887.
