Kröpeliner Gate

The west, one of the four main gates of the city, was built during the construction of defensive walls in the 13th century. The Kröpelin Gate was mentioned in a document for the first time in 1280 and is the most magnificent of the former 22 city & water gates. The 54-meter high, 7-story Gothic structure is the seat of the historical association Geschichtswerkstatt Rostock.
