Clevertor, Abandoned city gate in Hanover, Germany.

Located near the Leine River, the Clevertor features stone posts and grid gates, marking the former northern boundary of the Calenberger Neustadt district.

Originally constructed in the medieval period as the Brühler Tor, the gate underwent multiple reconstructions until its final demolition in 1859 during urban redevelopment.

Named after Heinrich Cleve, a local baker who lived for over a century, the gate represents the historical tradition of naming structures after notable residents.

The former location of the gate corresponds to the current position of the Employment Agency, providing a reference point for visitors exploring historical Hanover.

A metal-framed gable triangle featuring King George III's monogram, discovered in 1980, remains displayed at the original location of the gate's watch house.
