Jägertor, Baroque city gate in Potsdam, Germany
The Jägertor features a sandstone crown adorned with sculptures depicting a stag pursued by dogs, complemented by flaming grenades on its flanks.
Built in 1733 under Friedrich Wilhelm I of Prussia, this gate served as a control point in the city wall to prevent soldier desertion and goods smuggling.
The gate forms part of a historic promenade connecting the Brandenburg Gate and Nauener Gate, marking the former course of Potsdam's city fortifications.
The gate stands at the northern end of Lindenstrasse, accessible by bus lines 692 and 695, with paid parking available in adjacent streets.
The structure incorporates Tuscan order pillars made of plastered brick masonry, positioned at an angle to accommodate the diagonal path of the old city wall.
