Schwabinger Tor, Medieval fortified tower and city gate in Maxvorstadt, Munich, Germany.
The Schwabinger Tor consisted of a tall stone tower with battlements and a fortified gateway controlling access from the northern trade routes into Munich.
Constructed in 1391 as part of Munich's defensive wall system, the Schwabinger Tor protected the city until its demolition in the early nineteenth century.
The gate marked the boundary between the medieval city center and the village of Schwabing, functioning as a meeting point for merchants and travelers.
While the original structure no longer exists, visitors can explore the site near present-day Odeonsplatz, where informational markers detail the gate's history.
The Feldherrnhalle, built in 1844, now occupies the former location of the Schwabinger Tor, marking the transition from medieval defense to modern architecture.
