Rostocker Tor, Medieval city gate in Ribnitz-Damgarten, Germany
The Rostocker Tor stands as a brick gate structure with thick walls measuring 2 meters, featuring a gateway that spans 3.5 meters in width and 3 meters in height.
Built in the 15th century, this gate served as an essential part of the city fortifications and controlled access along major trade routes connecting to the Baltic Sea region.
The gate represents northern German architectural traditions and contains multiple arrow slits and recesses that demonstrate medieval construction and defense techniques.
Visitors can reach the gate by following the main road through Ribnitz-Damgarten, where it stands as a prominent landmark in the city center.
The structure underwent transformation from a defensive gate to a residence for the town armorer in 1671, and later served as headquarters for the GDR Writers Association.
