City walls of Naumburg, Medieval fortification in Naumburg, Germany

The city walls encircle both the civic district and cathedral area of Naumburg with towers, gates, and defensive trenches spanning 1.5 kilometers.

Construction of the fortifications began in the 14th century, with substantial reinforcements added during the Saxon Fratricidal War that ended in 1451.

The Marientor Gate stands as the last remaining city entrance of Naumburg, featuring a double-gate structure from 1446 that underwent restoration between 1997 and 2000.

Visitors can walk along preserved sections of the walls in the southern and eastern parts of the inner city, accessing various historical structures.

The pentagonal defense position at Jakobsring represents the most intact section of the 15th-century zwinger fortification system.
