Steintor, Medieval city gate in Anklam, Germany.

The Steintor is a 32-metre-high brick Gothic gate tower with a stepped gable, the tallest city gate in Pomerania. It was probably built around 1250 at a lower height that is still visible, and its upper holes mark a former wall walk. It is the only survivor of Anklam's six medieval city gates.

The Steintor was probably built around 1250 at a lower height that is still visible today, and it was first recorded in the town register in 1404. It is the only survivor of the six gates of Anklam's medieval walls. Around 1570 the walkway that had ringed the gate in the 16th century was removed after a large outer gate and a moat were added. Until the end of the 19th century the gate served as the town prison; in 1846 the mayor's objection saved it from demolition after the Stolper Tor was torn down.

The gate has served as a museum since 1989, offering exhibitions that show how people in this region lived and worked over time. Visitors can learn about local traditions and the stories of the community through displays inside.

The monument is centrally located in Anklam and easy to reach on foot from most parts of the city. Access is well-marked and visitors can move freely around and inside the structure.

Six gates once stood in Anklam's medieval walls; the Steintor is the only one left, and in 1846 the Stolper Tor was demolished as a traffic obstacle. The Steintor was nearly torn down too, but the mayor's objection saved it. Its upper holes mark a wall walk removed around 1570.
