Vogeltor, Gothic city gate and tower in Augsburg, Germany
The Vogeltor rises four stories high with pointed arches and detailed stonework, forming part of the medieval fortifications surrounding Augsburg.
Built in 1445 to replace an earlier structure, the Vogeltor served as one of fourteen gates controlling access to the Jakober suburb.
The gate reflects medieval engineering principles through its architectural elements, demonstrating the technological capabilities of 15th-century German builders.
Located near City Galerie shopping center and accessible via bus lines 35 and 22, the Vogeltor stands at a central intersection in downtown Augsburg.
The tower received its name either from Mayor Konrad Vogelin who commissioned it or from an incident with birds during its construction.
