The Bridge Gate

"Brucktor" 

Brucktor von der Kellerstraße aus     

The Brucktor has been officially recorded as the main bridge entrance to the town since 1374. It has been rebuilt many times over the centuries. On the riverside front wall murals dating from 1568 can be seen. Two guards in armour are depicted holding the Bavarian and Wasserburger standards and Jupiter is represented on an eagle over a vase of lillies, carrying a bolt of lightening and a sceptre.
