Stralau Gate, City gate in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Germany

The Stralau Gate stands as a stone entrance point along the Berlin Customs Wall, marking the boundary between the inner city and outer districts.

Constructed in the 18th century as part of Frederick William I's initiative, the gate served as a taxation checkpoint for goods entering Berlin until 1860.

The gate represents Berlin's transformation from a medieval trading post to a major European city through its role in commerce and population movement.

Located at coordinates 52.5027N, 13.4471E, the site of the former gate connects to multiple public transportation lines in the Friedrichshain neighborhood.

This gate formed one of fourteen original entry points in the Berlin Customs Wall, controlling the road that led to the village of Stralau.
