Kniepertor, Medieval city gate in Stralsund, Germany.
The Kniepertor features a rectangular building structure with a low tower and pointed arch passageway, representing northern German brick architecture.
The gate, first documented in 1293, belonged to a system of ten original city gates and received its name from an influential local merchant family.
The inner gate structure maintains its position as a central element of Stralsund's medieval fortification system and brick architectural heritage.
Visitors can find the Kniepertor at Knieperstraße 8-10, with the surrounding area offering direct access to the Old Market district.
A memorial stone and plaque on the city-facing side commemorate Friedrich Gustav von Petersson, who fought alongside Ferdinand von Schill.
