Tangermünder Tor, Medieval city gate in Stendal, Germany.
The Tangermünder Tor features a Romanesque fieldstone base with a round arch passage, topped by a late Gothic brick structure from 1440.
Built in the 13th century as part of Stendal's defensive system, this gate represents the oldest fortification entrance still standing in Northern Germany.
The gate's architecture combines regional building traditions, displaying both fieldstone construction methods and Gothic brick craftsmanship prevalent in medieval Saxony-Anhalt.
Located at the southeastern edge of Stendal's old town, the gate includes a modern brick addition from 1987 that allows visitors to access the structure.
During April 1945, the tower gained additional significance when residents raised white flags of surrender from its heights, despite opposition from local authorities.
