Nordertor, City gate in Flensburg, Germany

The Nordertor features a stone archway entrance with stepped gables, displaying traditional North German architectural design from the Renaissance period.

Built in 1595 as part of Flensburg's town wall, the Nordertor served as the northern boundary checkpoint, controlling access during nighttime hours.

Two plaques on the north face display the royal coat of arms of King Christian IV and the Flensburg coat of arms with inscriptions in Latin and German.

The structure contains a dedicated space on its upper level that functions as an official venue for civil wedding ceremonies since 2004.

The Deutsche Bundespost printed over 3 billion stamps featuring the Nordertor image on their 30 Pfennig postal denomination in 1966.
