Hey guys,
today my series about the four gates in Rostock continues. There used to be a whole 22 goals in Rostock. Only four of them remain. And it is precisely these four gates that I am doing a little history series about;) After the Kröpelin Gate and the Stone Gate, the Kuhtor and the Mönchtor are still missing - today it's about the Kuhtor. Yes, it really is called Kuhtor. But more about that later.
The "Cow Gate" - first designed in early Gothic architecture
The tower, designed in the early Gothic period, was first mentioned in a document in 1262. You will find the Kuhtor only a few hundred metres away from the Steintor and the larger Steinstraße. It is located on the side of Rostock City Hall.
What makes the Kuhtor so recognisable and unique is that it has a depressed, relatively deep passage for its tall structure.
In the beginning, its actual function was to act as a sally port to the south. However, the stone gate very soon functioned as such a gate.
What also makes the Kuhtor so special is that it is the oldest city gate in northern Germany. However, it is not only the oldest city gate in northern Germany, but also the oldest city gate in Rostock. It was built around 1262.
