Ulmer Tor

The Ulmer Tor stands as a tall, narrow gate with a saddle roof on the north side of Memmingen, featuring remaining sections of defensive walkways.

Built in the 1440s as part of the city fortifications, the gate marked a strategic entrance point for numerous military forces throughout the centuries.

The gate displays a painted clock and imperial eagle on its northern facade, while the interior depicts the grand entry of Maximilian I in 1489.

The structure serves as a north exit point of the Ulmer district, connecting the historic center with modern neighborhoods through its preserved medieval passage.

The gate witnessed the entry of the Upper Swabian Peasants, who wrote the Twelve Articles, considered the first declaration of human rights.
