Former Pleysteiner Gate

eastern city gate

The Pleysteiner Gate once stood along what is now Pleysteiner Straße, between the two second-to-last properties, forming a unified structure with the adjacent houses. The gable of the gate was oriented perpendicular to the street. The gate passage was 6.5 meters long and 2.8 meters wide. Next to the gate stood the so-called Herrenturm (“Lords’ Tower”).
