Semlower Tor, Medieval city gate in Stralsund, Germany
The Semlower Tor stood 22.65 meters tall, making it the highest of Stralsund's gates, featuring brick construction and Renaissance gables added in 1599.
First documented in 1277, the gate connected the old town with the harbor island until its demolition in 1960 following severe damage from World War II bombing.
The gate served as a meeting point for the cultural association Schlaraffia Stralsund from 1927 until the 1940s, reflecting its social importance.
Visitors can observe fragments of the original gate structure integrated into an adjacent building that underwent renovation work in 1998.
The gate measured 13.30 meters in width and 17 meters in depth, functioning both as a residential space and grain storage facility throughout its existence.
