Stadtbefestigung Jüterbog, Medieval city walls in Jüterbog, Germany

The defensive system consists of stone walls measuring six meters in height, incorporating watchtowers, bastions, and three substantial gate complexes.

Construction of the fortification started around 1300, with the first written documentation of the city walls appearing in records from 1335.

The three preserved gates named Dammtor, Zinnaer Tor, and Neumarkttor represent different architectural periods and defensive strategies of medieval German fortifications.

The fortification remains are open for visits throughout the year, with no entrance fees and complete accessibility for wheelchair users.

The round tower of Zinnaer Gate, constructed from fieldstone around 1300, stands as one of the earliest defensive structures in Brandenburg.
