Steintor, Medieval city gate in Bernau bei Berlin, Germany

The four-story Steintor gate tower features a square floor plan with battlements connecting it to the adjacent Hunger Tower.

The brick tower, constructed in the late Gothic style during the second half of the 15th century, stands as the last remaining gate of Bernau's original three.

Since 1882, the Steintor houses the local history museum, displaying medieval artifacts including weapons, guild signs, tools, and items from daily life.

The museum welcomes visitors Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 to 12:00 and 14:00 to 17:00, with weekend hours from 10:00 to 13:00 and 14:00 to 17:00.

The lower defense corridor contains the 'Poor Sinner's Chamber,' where condemned prisoners spent their final days before execution.
