Fahrtor, Medieval city gate in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

The Fahrtor served as a fortified entrance connecting Frankfurt's historic city center with the harbor along the Main River through massive stone walls.

Built between 1456 and 1460 under master craftsman Eberhard Friedberger, the gate was demolished in 1840 to make way for modern quay development.

The gate's upper floors housed council meetings and court sessions, while its facade displayed the coats of arms of the Holy Roman Empire and Frankfurt.

Located at the heart of Frankfurt near the Main River, the former gate area is now accessible through multiple transportation routes and pedestrian pathways.

The gate's main-side opening was a pointed arch, while the Römerberg side had a round arch. Above the main-side opening was an oriel decorated with tracery and the imperial and city coats of arms. When the gate was demolished in 1840, city architect Henrich integrated this oriel into the facade of a new guard and customs building, which still stands and was renovated in the early 21st century.
