Frankfurter Tor, Cultural heritage square in Friedrichshain, Germany

The Frankfurter Tor features two identical towers flanking Karl-Marx-Allee at the intersection of major roads in eastern Berlin.

The original wooden gate from 1716 stood 800 meters west until 1867, while the current square received its name in 1957 during Stalinallee construction.

The square's architectural design reflects the Socialist Classicism style, marking the beginning of Karl-Marx-Allee's monumental building ensemble.

The square connects to public transportation through the U5 subway line and tram lines M10 and 21, linking different parts of Berlin.

Two eight-story towers with copper-clad domes define the square's architecture, creating a gateway effect at this major traffic intersection.
