Millerntorplatz, Cultural heritage monument at Neustadt and St. Pauli districts, Hamburg, Germany.
Millerntorplatz is a central square in Hamburg where a historical gate once controlled access through the city's fortification walls. The square now connects the Neustadt and St. Pauli neighborhoods and provides access to various parts of this busy area.
The gate after which the square is named was built between 1620 and 1624 during Danish rule as part of Hamburg's defense system. It was one of four main entrances to the city and shaped the development of the surrounding neighborhoods.
The square serves as a meeting point between different neighborhoods and takes its name from the historical gate that once stood here. Today it is a place where you feel the proximity to the stadium and to St. Pauli's nightlife.
The square is easy to reach by public transportation, as the U3 metro line stops at St. Pauli station and various bus routes serve the area. The neighborhood is walkable and offers plenty of opportunities to explore on foot.
The square was once marked by one of Hamburg's few remaining fortification gates, though the gate itself did not survive for long. Its name reminds us of a time when the city was surrounded by massive walls and every passage was controlled.
