Angertor, Medieval city gate in Altstadt-Lehel, Germany

The Angertor was a gate of Munich's second city wall, located where the wall bent north at today's Unterer Anger and An der Hauptfeuerwache. In front of its gate tower stood a barbican with two round flanking towers. It was fortified as strongly as the four main gates.

The Angertor was first mentioned in a chamber account in 1319, as part of Munich's second city wall. Because it carried little traffic, it was often kept closed even during the day. Its gate tower was demolished in 1807, and the outer gate followed in 1869.

The gate led into the lower Anger, a district outside Munich's main trade route, since the Sendlinger Tor stood nearby on the main road. Because it saw little traffic, the Angertor was often kept closed even during the day. Its site is now occupied by the Städtisches Hochhaus, the Alte Technisches Rathaus, at the corner of Unterer Anger and An der Hauptfeuerwache.

The former location of the gate is now marked by the Municipal High-Rise building at the intersection of Unterer Anger and An der Hauptfeuerwache streets. Visitors can easily reach this spot on foot by following the modern streets that correspond to the city's original layout.

Despite serving as a secondary entrance to Munich, the gate featured fortification levels equal to the city's four primary gates. This equal distribution of defensive strength shows the careful strategic planning of medieval city defense.
