Semlower Tor, Medieval city gate in Stralsund, Germany

The Semlower Tor was Stralsund's tallest city gate with brick construction and Renaissance gables added in 1599. The structure also contained living quarters and served as a grain storage facility throughout its use.

The gate was first documented in 1277 and connected the old town with the harbor area until its demolition in 1960. Severe damage from World War II bombing ultimately led to its removal.

From 1927 the gate's rooms hosted meetings of the Schlaraffia Stralsund cultural association, a club of local artists and merchants. The building had earlier been rented as a grain store, with Bertram Wulflam among its tenants. Its name comes from Semlower Straße, the street that ended at the gate.

Today visitors can see fragments of the original structure integrated into an adjacent building that was renovated in 1998. These remains offer a concrete connection to the gate's physical past within the city.

The gate's 1599 renovation gave it two different Renaissance gables, and its rooms were rented out for grain storage; the Stralsund councillor Bertram Wulflam was among the tenants. After Stralsund's defences were abandoned, the cultural association Schlaraffia Stralsund met in the gate from 1927.
