Nabburger Tor, Medieval gate in Amberg, Germany

The Nabburg Gate is a gate in Amberg built of plastered rubble masonry, with two flanking towers 23 meters high whose semicircular lower sections have walls 1.35 meters thick. The central building is two stories, and the town-side Gothic arch is pointed with a keel-and-bead molding and surviving bollards at its base. The towers rise into octagons at the second upper floor.

The gate was built around 1382 as part of the town's defenses. In 1587, it underwent major reconstruction under Count Johann Casimir, who increased its height and replaced sections with new sandstone.

The gate displays the Palatinate coat of arms and carries an inscription referencing Count Johann Casimir's rule. Visitors can still see these symbols today and understand how authority was made visible through such markings.

The gate stands on the road out of town toward Nabburg, and traffic today passes through it in one direction only, out of the city. Pedestrians share the opening with vehicles, so cross with care. The former guardhouse from the second half of the 17th century adjoins the eastern tower.

In the passage of the eastern tower a rectangular opening is still visible, through which prisoners were lowered into a windowless and doorless room. The lower storeys of both towers served as the gate's prison; pedestrian passages were only broken through their ground floors at the beginning of the 19th century.
