Neutor (New Gate), Marienberg Fortress

Highlight • Monument

The Neutor is one of the outer fortifications of the Marienberg Fortress.
The gate passage of the new gate is slightly curved in order to avoid a direct shooting through. The loopholes are laid out in such a way that there would have been no cover for advancing enemies anywhere. The gate guards of the New Gate were probably often bored and for this reason left scribbled letters on the gate walls. Deep grooves made by the guards can also be seen on the innermost loopholes: This is where they put the finishing touches to their halberds (spear, thrust weapon).
The openings in the roof vault were used for ventilation and ensured that the powder vapor could quickly escape.

Vineyard Trail to Marienberg Fortress

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

So much there is to discover ..... great location, you can spend a few hours here. Great photo opportunities on, around and in the fortress in harmony with the great view of Würzburg and all its beauties. During the numerous guided tours, you can even pick up one or two interesting things. An early arrival is worthwhile, because despite Corona there is really something going on, tourists as well as locals use the idyllic spot - and rightly so.
