Lindauer Tor, A city gate in the Upper Swabian town of Memmingen.

The Lindauer Tor is a city gate on the west side of Memmingen's old town, also called Krugstor. Its west face carries a large Habsburg double eagle holding shields with the Memmingen coat of arms, with Lindau's smaller coat of arms above. Inside, two painted lion heads frame oval windows, between them the coat of arms of commander Johann von Winterscheid dated 1648. A baroque hipped roof was added in the 18th century, and a historic customs house stands left of the entrance.

The Lindauer Tor was first recorded in 1371 and was part of a defensive system built in the 14th and 15th centuries to protect the city. During the Thirty Years War, the structure suffered damage along with other fortifications, but was repaired multiple times in subsequent centuries.

The gate is also known as Krugstor. Its west facade carries the Habsburg double eagle holding shields with Memmingen's coat of arms, with Lindau's smaller coat of arms above. Inside, two painted lion heads frame oval windows, and between them is the coat of arms of city commander Johann von Winterscheid with the year 1648.

The gate stands on the west side of the old town, between the Westertor and the Kempter Tor, near the Rote Kaserne. The historic customs house sits just left of the entrance. The gate itself is a passage, so it can be walked through on foot; the rooms inside are used by local scout and fishers' association groups.

A cannonball from 1647 is embedded in the outer wall of the Lindauer Tor, a silent witness to the conflicts that struck the city. This projectile provides direct evidence of the sieges and battles that raged here during wartime.
