Of the three city gates, only the old town gate on the south side from around 1300 still exists today. It appears as a gate tower with a ridge-arched passage.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: The city walls, made of basalt and quarry stone, enclosed the castle hill to the north, east and south. Thigh walls connected them to the castle. A garden area to the west was walled in in the first half of the 15th century. Two round shell towers and walls to the west of the church and east of the castle have been preserved to this day. Of the three city gates, only the old town gate on the south side from around 1300 still exists today. It appears as a gate tower with a ridge-arched passage.
Deutsch: Die aus Basalt und Bruchstein errichteten Mauerzüge der Stadtmauer umschlossen den Burghügel im Norden, Osten und Süden. Schenkelmauern verbanden sie mit der Burg. Ein im Westen liegendes Gartengelände wurde in der ersten Hälfte des 15. Jahrhunderts ummauert. Bis heute haben sich zwei runde Schalentürme sowie Mauerzüge westlich der Kirche und östlich der Burg erhalten. Von den drei Stadttoren existiert heute allein noch die Altstädter Pforte an der Südseite aus der Zeit um 1300. Sie zeigt sich als Torturm mit gratgewölbter Durchfahrt.
