In the 19th century, all external gates of the city were cut off, except for the outer gate, after the wall had been removed at the end of the eighteenth century. And the trenches and ramparts gradually disappeared.

Frauentor, Rabenturm and the City Wall of Mühlhausen

Highlight • Historical Site

The Frauentor is the only one of the former city gates of the inner city wall in Mühlhausen that has been preserved. In the immediate vicinity, from Herren-/Holzstraße, is the entrance to the city wall, which is accessible for a length of around 370 meters. The climb up the Rabenturm is rewarded with a wonderful panoramic view of the city and the surrounding area.
