Marschiertor, Medieval city gate in Aachen, Germany.
The Marschiertor features two four-story towers with a central portal measuring 4.80 meters wide and a total structure width of 23.80 meters.
Construction of the Marschiertor began in 1257 and reached completion in 1300, serving as a defense structure for the Free Imperial City of Aachen.
The Marschiertor now functions as the headquarters for Stadtgarde Oecher Penn, the oldest association connected to the Aachen Carnival traditions.
The gate stands near the main train station and offers visitors a starting point for exploring the historic district of Aachen on foot.
The structure underwent multiple transformations throughout its existence, functioning as a shelter, youth hostel, and Hitler Youth facility before its 1964 restoration.
