Sterntor, Medieval city gate in Bonn, Germany.

The Sterntor features a stone archway with corner towers and crenellated crown, incorporating fragments of the city wall and a semi-circular defense tower.

Originally constructed in 1244 as part of Bonn's defensive fortifications, the gate was dismantled in 1898 and reconstructed at Bottlerplatz square in 1900.

The outer archway displays two stone reliefs from 1650, depicting the crucified Christ with Mary and John, and a representation of Our Lady of Sorrows.

Located near the city center on Bottlerplatz, the Sterntor stands at the intersection of multiple pedestrian paths and serves as an orientation point for visitors.

The gate contains an original barrel vault from the 17th century, classified as an archaeological site within the structure of the reconstructed monument.
