Gereonstor, Medieval city gate in Cologne, Germany.
The Gereonstor stands as a stone gateway with pointed arches and detailed stonework, representing fortification techniques from the Middle Ages.
Built as part of the Stadtmauer defensive wall system, this gate protected Cologne from potential invasions during medieval times through its strategic position.
The gate received its name from the nearby St. Gereon's Basilica, marking the connection between religious structures and military architecture in Cologne.
Located near the U-Bahn station Christophstraße, visitors can reach the gate through multiple public transportation options and follow marked walking paths.
In June 1881, workers prepared for extensive demolition activities around the gate, including plans to blast sections of the adjacent city wall.
