Gartentor, Cultural heritage tower in Reutlingen, Germany.
The Gartentor is a stone tower in Reutlingen that breaks through the medieval city wall. The structure impresses with its sturdy stone walls and classic gate design that served both entry and defense.
The Gartentor was built in the Middle Ages as part of the city fortification to protect Reutlingen from invading troops. Over the centuries it lost its original defensive purpose but remained an important symbol of the town's history.
The Gartentor takes its name from a nearby garden and displays typical features of medieval city gates. Visitors can see how the town once marked and defended its boundaries.
The Gartentor is centrally located in Reutlingen and easily accessible on foot from the town center. Parking spots are nearby, so visitors can reach the tower without a long walk.
The construction uses local limestone from the Swabian region, which gives the tower its characteristic appearance. These specific building materials show how medieval builders skillfully used the natural resources available to them.
